Wikipedia article"'Love Don't Love You'" was the final single from American R&B/pop vocal group En Vogue's second album, 'Funky Divas'. It was released in 1993 as the groups 5th consecutive top 40 single in the US from that album. The song is led by Terry Ellis and Cindy Herron. Critical receptionAllMusic editor Jose F. Promis described "Love Don't Love You" as "jazzy". Larry Flick from 'Billboard' commented, "There just ain't no stoppin' these funky divas", adding that the new single "is a bit more aggressive and catchy than the previous "Give It Up, Turn It Loose". Syncopated funk beats clip at an easy pace, supporting an intricate and expectedly harmonious vocal arrangement." Randy Clark from 'Cashbox' deemed it a "particular scantily-arranged cut". Dave Sholin from the 'Gavin Report' complimented its "dynamic production, incredible harmonies and great material [that] make an unbeatable formula." A reviewer from 'Music & Media' said, "Funk, rock, pop, jazz, well ladies, what's it gonna be this time? The "funky divas of all trades" go swing beat, with lovely results of course." Alan Jones from 'Music Week' wrote that they "return with a nagging jack swing track that will remind Jade what they're up against in the battle of the funky divas." He added, "The singing is as good as it gets, but some of the mixes are a bit on the flabby side, and probably diminish rather than broaden its appeal." Pop Rescue stated that "the vocals are beautiful, and sit perfectly alongside the beats and bassline." They concluded, "Its brilliant." Cheo H. Coker from 'Stanford Daily' wrote that it "isn't bad, but just doesn't pack as much punch as other cuts on the effort."
