Sturken was also responsible for drum programming and keyboards, while Rogers provided background vocals with Cindy Mizelle.

"[10] Chuck Taylor of Billboard wrote a positive review, noting that Clarkson "mines her soulful side and riffs like a sista with the gospel-drenched [track].

"[6] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian praised the singer, writing that "[l]ike her fellow Texan Beyoncé, she has a background in the church, and it shows in the phrasing of the torchy song.

"[12] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine called the song a "durable soul number reminiscent of Mariah Carey's 'Vision of Love'.

"[2] Mike Wass of Idolator described it as "a bluesy ballad that is an early preview of the diva’s eventual flirtation with roots and blues.

"[14] While failing to match "Miss Independent" in the United States, "The Trouble with Love Is" performed considerably better internationally.

It matched the same peak position of the previous single, "Low",[15] and ultimately, the song was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for selling over 35,000 copies.

As noted by MTV News' Corey Moss, "along with the high-altitude shots, Barber also created several vignettes showing kids dealing with troubled relationships, which [were] interspersed with the performance footage.
