"Shadows of Love" is a song by new wave duo Wax, released by RCA in 1986 as the third single from their debut studio album Magnetic Heaven.

[2] The video for the North American market, which revolves around a young pair who meet in a bar, was directed by Storm Thorgerson and produced by Antony Taylor for PMI.

He noted that the "combination of swelling and pounding keyboard-patterns is workable, if a little childlike" and also added that the song is "a little chock with obvious rhymes".

[4] Adrian Bishop of The Western Gazette noted that the song is "built round the bass and synth, which make an effective combination, but it tails away into a poor MOR melody".

[5] Music & Media picked it as one of their "sure hits" in their issue of 5 July 1986 and added that it is a "remarkable" song from their "splendid [debut] album".
