"Be My Lover Now" is a song by British singer and songwriter Philip Oakey and producer Giorgio Moroder.
Upon its release as a single, Don Watson of NME considered "Be My Lover Now" to be "catchy enough" and "definitely an improvement" on "Together in Electric Dreams".
He also noted the "infuriatingly familiar, cloying perfect slide guitar refrain", but felt overall that the song did not "contain a spark of the irresistible tacky thrill that was 'Love Action'".
[3] Nancy Culp of Record Mirror remarked, "Phil, darling, you are wasting your awesome vocal talents endorsing this aural popcorn.
[5] John Harrison, writing for The Sydney Morning Herald, called it "strictly dance-floor material, with the inherent weakness (banal lyrics) and strengths (big beat) of that tag", but added that "it is a little classier than most of the ilk".
