Oliver Tyron from Cultr felt that "We Could Be Love is an enjoyable listen that plays to James' strengths, offering a polished mix of upbeat, danceable songs, though it stays well within the realm of what fans have come to expect from him."^[2]

This Song Is Sick wrote that "We Could Be Love sees Hayden James put on a masterclass of his own interpretation of house music and it makes for one hell of an album."^[3]
