Critical reception

Kirstin Watson from Smash Hits gave the song a top score of five out of five and named it a Smash Hit, writing, "Wa-hey, it's another swing-tastic tune from The Most Romantic Men in PopTM and we absolutely flippin' love it. 'Love Lady' is a smoochy, swayey, mushy 'number' that'll have you slidin' straight into the lurve one. Ras, Jade, Andrez, Coree and Noel are obviously still in romantic mode after their last big hit 'Wonderful Tonight' and all I can say is with R'n'B as sweet as this just keep it coming fellas!"
