Critical reception

Pan-European magazine

NME said, "Best of all, current smash "Future Love Paradise" presents a panoramic Utopian vision with power and panache. Seal's rich tones slithering and sliding like warm treacle into your most intimate recesses. Oo-er."[2] Miranda Sawyer from Smash Hits felt that this "swooping epic" is destined for Britain's Top Five, "and quite right too."[3]
