simon leng bemoans the song's "hackneyed, falling-and-rising chromatic chord pattern" and lyrics that are "probably the weakest of harrison's career", and suggests that the 1970 outtake "i live for you" would have been a preferable inclusion. leng adds that harrison's guitar solo and "particularly strong" vocal performance on "i dig love" "almost save the day", yet the song "lacks the expressive clout" of the rest of its parent album. ian inglis similarly dismisses "i dig love", describing it as repetitive and lyrically simplistic. while also comparing the composition with stills' "love the one you're with", he opines: "but whereas that song is a celebratory endorsement of 'free love,' harrison's is a gloomy and unconvincing contribution."
