Critical reception
According to James Masterton, "My Love" was a better song than "Harlem Desire", the duo's previous single.[7] Retrospectively, in a 2015 review of the parent album, the Pop Rescue website considered "My Love" "a great little dance track", adding that "it's fairly simple, but catchy", showing a great "vocal harmony".[8]
