Paul Oldfield from Melody Maker wrote, "Taylor Dayne comes up with the most impatient single this week. The awesome outlines of Rufus and Chaka Khan 's "Ain't Nobody " have been filled in with designer purposefulnes by Arthur Baker -type chatter and grafted crashes and shunts of guitar. "Prove Your Love" is all appetite, avarice and accountancy, trying to overtake its own expectations. Look for the sell-by-date."[ 3] Andrew Panos from Number One complimented "Prove Your Love" as "a thumpingly catchy disco tune".[ 4]
