Critical reception



John Bush from AllMusic said the song "mixes a disco style with more familiar house and pop elements, with Peter Cunnah's stronger-than-usual vocals." Larry Flick from 'Billboard' described it as an "ebullient disco/house spinner that sparks with optimistic lyrics and a joy-ful vocal by front man Peter Cunnah. The chorus builds to anthemic proportions in the context of the track's rattling percussion and rolling piano lines." He also noted "the tireless and oh-so-contagious tone" of the album version. 'Music & Media' wrote that the singer "writes songs which will still be played in five years time. It's like George Michael's Freedom II. Additional piano is played by Jools Holland." Chris Moore, head of music on Red Dragon/Cardiff gave it 36-40 plays a week. He said, "After all those rereleases and remixes of singles off their first album, it's good to finally get something new from D:Ream. It's a great pop record, bound to be top 5 in the UK."

British magazine 'Music Week' gave "Shoot Me with Your Love" three out of five, adding that it is "a rather unimaginative effort from Peter Cunnah, but it's got just enough of the feel-good factor to get arms waving and fans buying." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update deemed it a "'Na Na Hey Kiss Him Goodbye'-ishly chanted soaring, wukka-wukking, jangling and thumping joyous strider". Pop Rescue stated, "This is an extremely up-beat track and one thats very catchy. Its mid-section choral breaks harks back to Things Can Only Get Better." 'Smash Hits' declared it as a "fantastically energetic pop-dance single that will see D:Ream back where they belong - at the top of the charts."
