Love, Nancy received mostly positive reviews from music critics upon its release, most of whom complimented Wilson's vocal performance. Writing for the Miami Herald, Mario Tarradell stated that Wilson is "adept at taking others' tunes and molding them around her expressive pipes, setting her own mood."[6] Karl Stark of Lexington Herald-Leader stated that Wilson's voice sounds "as silken as ever", with arrangements that "enhance her already sophisticated aura".[5] In The Province, Renee Doruyter stated that Love, Nancy "demonstrates the reasons for her longevity", and that Wilson's strength "is the way she makes you believe the words".[7] In another rave review for The Charlotte Observer, Sheila Solomon described the album as "a powerful collection of love songs", commending Wilson's enunciation.[4]
In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Ron Wynn stated that "Andre Fischer's production lets Wilson's still enchanting, powerful voice dominate the orchestrations," concluding that while there are "occasional tasty instrumental contributions from selected guest stars [...] for the most part it's Wilson's warm, inviting leads that make this CD so delightful."[3]
