Critical reception

Vibe wrote, "Terius Nash's new leadoff record from "Love King" has no "-ellas," but it's still much of the same: fingersnaps, repetition, and an unescapable catchphrase (you don't know me like that!). We haven't heard mindless music that sounds this good since... The-Dream's last single."[3]

"Love King" debuted on the

Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart at number 92 in the March 6, 2010, issue. It was officially sent to US radio stations on March 9, 2010.
