Critical reception
'Vibe' wrote, "Terius Nash's new leadoff record from "Love King" has no "-ellas," but it's still much of the same: fingersnaps, repetition, and an unescapable catchphrase (you don't know me like that!). We haven't heard mindless music that sounds this good since... The-Dream's last single."

"Love King" debuted on the 'Billboard' Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart at number 92 in the March 6, 2010, issue. It was officially sent to US radio stations on March 9, 2010. In the week following its release, it re-entered the chart at number 67, and reached its peak at number 37 the following.
