Critical reception
Alex Henderson from AllMusic noted that the song "decries the evils of materialism". Larry Flick from 'Billboard' described it as a "smokin', rock-flavored hip-hopper, empowered with a more biting, worldly edge than on past efforts." He added that "periodic rushes of metallic guitars slice through a fat groove, and underscore Cherry's well-seasoned singing and rapping." David Browne from 'Entertainment Weekly' noted that on "brazen tracks" like Money Love, Cherry "still knows how to throw down with the best of them."
Dave Sholin from the 'Gavin Report' commented, "Grappling with the age-old dilemma of money vs. love is made all the more compelling set to a funky, rockin' beat." A reviewer from 'Music & Media' stated that the singer's "position at the top of innovative pop is reaffirmed. A guitar riff on a dance record, hey that's uncommon! Rockers here's your chance to steal a sample back, instead of the other way round." James Hamilton from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update called it a "jerkily surging pop chugger".
