Victoria Segal of Mojo assigned the album a rating of four stars, noting it as "a wistful prodding at Wauters' roots in the place he left for New York when he was 18."[4]
Describing Wauters as being "genuinely inspired" in incorporating the culture of Montevideo into his music, AllMusic remarked, it "gives MVD LUV its inherent sweetness and makes it more than just another album of happy-go-lucky folk-pop numbers."[2]
Under the Radar gave it a rating of six out of ten, describing it as feeling "like a pop-folk documentary" and "exciting, but a bit rushed."[1] Financial Times rated the project four stars and described it as "an album that is charming, light and short."[5]
