Critical reception

In his review for Clash, Robin Murray described the song as "a bold return" and "a blast of positive energy in an increasingly dark world, with its searing melodies underlining Mabel's astonishing promise".[3] Cerys Kenneally of The Line of Best Fit called the song a "banger".[4] Hannah Mylrea of NME regarded it as "an electropop bop" and found its "formula of brilliantly brash lyrics and a powerhouse chorus" similar to that of Mabel's previous single "Don't Call Me Up".[1] A writer for DIY wrote that "Mad Love" finds the singer "at her most unapologetic" and deemed it "an anthem to liberate women everywhere to take charge and talk about what (and who) they want".[5] In The Guardian, Gavin Haynes wrote that the production is "best described as 'Spotify'" and the lyrics "feel like they've been heavily workshopped to ride the line between teen-pleasing filth and daytime radio play", but "with a quiet-loud dynamic tighter than a duck's designer vagina, it's a hit."[6]

The music video for "Mad Love" was released on 7 June 2019. Inquisitr's Fabio Magnocavallo wrote that the singer "is seen sporting many looks throughout the scenes and is also performing full choreography in parts".[7]
