Critical reception

from Billboard wrote, "The up-and-coming Ms S. is out to prove that "Show Me Love" was no fluke with this aggressive dance ditty from her sturdy debut album. Although the production is a little too familiar for its own good at times, the song itself is quite cool, and Robin cuts loose like a well-seasoned diva. Her star power is helping the track win the hearts of club pundits." The Network Forty commented, "Keeping with the same formula that took her previous single to the top of the Dance charts, top five at Mainstream and number two at Crossover, the Maven of House is back with another strong rhythmic mover. Although it could be argued that this single is very similar to "Show Me Love," "Luv 4 Luv" has so many subtle differences that it's not hard to tell the two apart." James Hunter from Vibe noted that following up with "Luv 4 Luv" "brings personality and addictive soul to techno's faceless pulse. Plus, Robin S. have a friendly voice that can fire right up."
