It was also covered by George Strait on his album If You Ain't Lovin', You Ain't Livin'. His version became his 15th number 1 single in the U.S.

Critical reception

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B- grade, saying that it "features Strait singing in such an exaggerated twang that the entire proceedings feel more campy than country."[1]

Chart performance

"If You Ain't Lovin'" reached number two for three weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for Faron Young in 1954.[2]

George Strait's version was a chart topper in 1988, his eighth consecutive single to do so.[3] Its chart performance on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart is unknown.
