Labor of Love is a 1981 studio album by American soul music vocal group the Spinners, released on Atlantic Records.

The group returned to their Philly soul roots, giving the band a commercial and critical boost.

Still, with this album, the slid to the bottom of sales charts and would fall off entirely within a few years.

Editors at AllMusic Guide scored Labor of Love three out of five stars, with reviewer Ron Wynn writing that this was when the group's commercial prospects began to slide, as audiences thought of them as a cover band reinterpreting crossover pop/rhythm and blues hits, noting that this album has "ebullient soul ballads and uptempo tunes" that builds upon their classic period, but which left them out of step with contemporary audiences.
