Glenn A. Baker of Billboard magazine described the song's chart success as "the most unexpected[…]breakout in the Australian market for many years." He also cited it as an example of the label's success with breaking new acts outside their home markets.[1] SAFM in Adelaide was among the first stations to play the song.[1]
Joe Rassenfoss of the Rocky Mountain News, in his review of the album, called the song a "catchy vocal entreaty."[2]
"You Don't Treat Me No Good" debuted at number 38 on the Australian ARIA Charts dated for November 29, 1992.[3] After spending six weeks in the number two position behind Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You,"[1] the song reached a peak of number one on the chart dated for the week ending February 28, 1993.[4] It held that position for four weeks and fell to number four on the chart dated for March 28.[5] It was also ranked number three on the ARIA year-end chart.[6] Although the song did not chart in the United States, the self-titled album from which it was taken sold more than 100,000 copies in the United States after its release in 1992.[7]

On March 1, 2010, country music artist Jerrod Niemann released his cover version under the title "Lover, Lover".[9] The song is Niemann's first release on the Sea Gayle label, a sister label of Arista Nashville, as well as his fourth single release overall. It is included on his album Judge Jerrod & the Hung Jury, which was released in July 2010, as well as the thirty-fifth edition of Now That's What I Call Music!
Niemann's recording of the song features nine vocal tracks, all of which he recorded himself and then overdubbed. He recorded eight of the vocal tracks in one day and recorded the bass backing vocals the next day.[10] Niemann once explained that his voice was hoarse from recording the eight vocal parts and was unable to record the bass vocal. He and a friend then visited the Nashville tavern Tin Roof, which is near the studio where the song was recorded, after Niemann recalled upon several occasions where the Tin Roof bartender would serve Niemann excessive doses of whiskey resulting in Niemann awakening in the morning after with an extremely low voice. With this in mind, Niemann "medicated" his vocal cords by having the Tin Roof bartender serve him Jack Daniels whiskey nonstop for approximately six hours that night and then returned to the studio the next morning to record the bass vocal.[11]
Writing for the CMT blog, Whitney Self said that Niemann "gives the tune a new feel with his contagious beats and acoustic guitar."[12] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock called it "soulful, catchy and distinctive," giving it a four-star rating out of five.[13]
"Lover, Lover" debuted at number 52 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts dated for the week ending March 6, 2010.[14] On the week of August 14, 2010, it became his first number one on the Hot Country Songs charts.[15] It finished at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 22 on the Hot Country Songs.[16]
