The Love EP received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 69, based on six reviews.[3] Andy Kellman of AllMusic viewed the EP as "a light stop-gap to hold fans over until Rae's third album", adding that "it's all the more enjoyable to hear the singer indulge herself and have a little fun with a set of favorites."[4] Zach Gase of Okayplayer commended Bailey Rae for her versatility and wrote that "[t]here really isn't a weak moment on The Love EP."[7]Greg Kot of Entertainment Weekly noted that Bailey Rae sounds "spunkier" than usual on the EP, citing her rendition of "Que Sera Sera" as a highlight.[6]
Frank Mojica of Consequence of Sound stated, "While every cover on The Love may not be exceptional, Corinne Bailey Rae once again exhibits remarkable vocal and musical range."[5] David Mine of PopMatters named "Que Sera Sera" the standout track of the EP, but felt that "[e]lsewhere, results are mixed", concluding, "If nothing else, Rae is to be commended for branching out and trying new styles, but it's that final song that really makes this record worthwhile."[8]
