"Let's Don't Call It a Night" is a debut song co-written and recorded by American country music singer and American Idol season 9 finalist Casey James.

Critical reception
Jeff Lincoln of Country Standard Time said that the song "has a charming, sultry groove. Exchanging sharp Dobro twangs with understatedly suggestive lyrics, it's something Ronnie Milsap may have plucked for himself 30 years ago."[1] Giving it three stars out of five, Billy Dukes of Taste of Country called the opening lyrics "vapid" but praised the chorus, also saying, "The mood is right".[2]
Music video
Roman White directed the music video.[3]
