The track gained attention from BBC Radio 1, with plays from Nick Grimshaw and Rob da Bank.

[1][2] "I Love London" was featured in Mixmag's Top 100 Records of 2008, placing at number 91; this being particularly notable due to this being the only song in the list to have been unreleased at the time.

[7] Mimi Borrelli (former member of Crystal Fighters) features as the dancer in the video, which was directed by Martin Zahringer.

In his review of the original album release, Benjamin Hiorns of online music magazine Subba-Cultcha commented that: 'I Love London' however is the most irritating, hipster bullshit piece of ass I've heard in months which sums up in 3 ear raping minutes why I hate the London music scene and the record looses [sic] a whole point as a result (yes it really is THAT bad).

When asked in an interview by Josh Holliday, of Virgin Media, as to the disparity between the album on the whole and this particular single, Pringle had the following comment: We still love the track, and we did make a few songs that were more similar to it but it seemed like it would survive on its own but [sic] we wanted to make songs that were perhaps more conventional in their construction, incorporating more guitars etc.
