Critical reception
On its release, Eleanor Levy of Record Mirror wrote: "This is the Bee Gees back to their camp, screaming best (or, indeed, worst, depending on your point of view). Sharing the heavy-handed drum beat of "You Win Again" but little else, in the battle for the Club 18-30 dancefloor, the Bee Gees take no prisoners."[3] In a review of E.S.P., Paul Grein of the Los Angeles Times described "Crazy for Your Love" as a "rollicking pop piece that suggests Kenny Loggins".[4] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic retrospectively picked "Crazy for Your Love" as one track on E.S.P that works as the band "attempt[ed] to add some street beats and mild hip-hop to their standard adult pop".[5]
