Critical reception
The Daily Vault's Mark Millan stated, "Another gem on the record is the rocker "You Wouldn't Know Love" that keeps the momentum running superbly." David Giles from 'Music Week' wrote that it "is a lot more steadfastly MOR and what you'd expect considering that Michael Bolton co-wrote and produced it. Probably a substantial hit."
