The song received positive reviews from most music critics. AllMusic editor Rick Anderson wrote in his review of "Medusa", that Lennox's rendition of "No More I Love You's" is "ravishingly, heartbreakingly lovely". Larry Flick from "Billboard" wrote that "she picks up right where she left off floating fluttering phrases over a sea of atmospheric synths and strings that are propelled by a subtle, shuffling beat." He noted that the track "builds to a dramatic musical climax that perfectly suits the declarative tone of the lyrics." Karen Leverich from "The Heights" described the song as "a serene blend of voices". "Evening Herald" said it "successfully bridged the gap between Nineties pop sophistication and her ritzy hits with Dave Stewart".
