Critical reception
AllMusic editor Andy Kellman called Love, Charlie Wilson's "most modest and low-key set. Some listeners might bemoan the increasingly reserved nature of Wilson's releases since the singer's unexpected 2000s resurgence, but the direction is natural. It would make little sense for him to continue teaming with songwriters and producers accustomed to working with pop-oriented R&B artists less than half his age." Kellman cloncluded: "While it does not feature as many standouts as the three previous Charlie albums, Love, Charlie is another enjoyable and genuine addition to the catalog of a funk heavyweight."
