An enthusiastic WLIR named "We Love You" their "Screamer of the Week" for 28 November 1986.[2] Following its US-wide release, the track was included in KROQ's "Top 106.7 Songs of 1987".[3] AllMusic critic Dave Thompson later wrote that "We Love You" had "all the makings of a smash [hit]", while praising its instrumentation and "splendidly anthemic chorus". He also observed "barely veiled lyrics with anti-militaristic intent".[4]
