Both For the Love of You and Motor came off EWF's 1990 studio album Heritage. Critical receptionJohn Milward of Rolling Stone said For the Love of You is "spun on a skeletal rhythm suggestive of Cameo". Andy Gill of The Independent said "Fortunately, the sinuous funk workouts like 'For the Love of You', 'King of Groove' and 'Gotta Find Out' are as good as ever." Mitchell May of the Chicago Tribune wrote "Hammer`s clipped delivery meshes so well with EWF`s leaner sound that they might want to consider hiring him full-time".
