Writing for Allmusic, music critic Vince Ripol wrote the album "concentrates their alternative dance-rock into a single-length showcase of their strengths... In general, Love Is the Law is harder and tighter than previous releases, and even the most intense tracks produce lingering melodies in the wake of relentless rock & roll. The Suburbs may not have equaled the success or longevity of other Minneapolis musicians from the 1980s, but Love Is the Law holds its own against the more celebrated albums of its time."[1]
