[1] Released as the second single in the US, the song was a hit on the dance charts, but failed to repeat the Top 40 success it enjoyed in Europe.

[1] The late singer's husband, Bruce Sudano, said that both he and Summer were very enthusiastic about the track because of its quality, her powerful vocal performance, and the song's deference to her strongest work with Giorgio Moroder, saying, "It's a full showcase on every level".

"[2] In the same magazine, the Civillés & Cole 12" mix was praised by James Hamilton, considering that this "vastly superior 0-124 bpm remix turns [Summer's] most recent, rather limp, Stock Aitken Waterman creation into a superb solidly bounding and soaring stormer in the classic "disco" style of a decade ago".

[3] Retrospectively, in a 2016 review of the album, Pop Rescue stated that "Love's About to Change My Heart" "opens sounding a bit like a Whitney Houston 80s song, before absolutely roaring into a hi-NRG bass/keyboards/beats track", and added positively that "Donna's vocals sit confidently on top of this, and at times it gives a wonderful nod to her disco era".

Summer's vocals wound themselves subtly around the melody, reaching for a gospel-inspired climax that in truth never quite arrived in the expected manner".
