Reception

Critical reception

Sara D. Anderson of AOL Radio Blog said, "the duo's beautiful voices twist and soar around Drake's supple and soulful vocals".[9] Although she commented that Drake's voice was "almost unrecognizable" on the track, Becky Bain of Idolator noted "how sweetly he comes off in this sensitive track".[7] Bain also complimented Drake's part in the song, stating, "Drizzy kills it in his mellow verse in the middle, his raspy monotone fitting in quite well with the melancholy vibe of the song."[7] A writer for Birthplace Magazine said the song was mixed with "a combination of slick production, strong vocals from Dirty Money songstresses Dawn and Kaleena, a guest appearance by Drake, and hype as only Diddy can deliver", and called the song and video "mainstream guilty pleasures we can enjoy"[10]

Chart performance

Upon digital release, "Loving You No More" debuted on multiple

Rap Songs charts, respectively, it therefore appeared at ninety-one on the Billboard Hot 100.[11] It fell off the Hot 100 the next week, but would go on in the following weeks to peak at number twenty on the R&B chart and seventeen on the rap chart.[11] After the release of Last Train to Paris, the song re-entered the Hot 100 at its original peak, ninety-one.[11]

Music video

The song's accompanying music video was directed by

BET's 106 & Park on October 27, 2010.[13]

Synopsis and reception

The video opens with a still image of a woman in her bikini (Manuela Arbeláez) while various scenery backdrops are superimposed in the background. The first scenes of the video flicker between Diddy's life with his femme fatale and Diddy singing with the rest of Dirty Money in the bedroom of a mansion. Some of the possessions in the house such as picture frames shatter as the chorus builds up. However, during Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper's verses, the camera focus on Richard and Harper singing directly into the camera lens. As Drake's verse begins, Diddy falls backwards into a swimming pool in slow motion, while the camera image slowly fades into a club scene. There is a brief shot of a bottle of coconut-flavored Cîroc vodka before Diddy is scene mingling in the club. The camera mainly focus on Drake, who is observing what is happening and rapping his verse. During the bridge, Richard and Harper appear in the club and Diddy's femme fatale is seen in the background.

Ed Easton, Jr. of WNOW-FM gave the song six and a half out of ten stars, calling it "average". Easton said, "This is a rare situation, where the song was more of a draw than the actual video."[8] Becky Bain of Idolator said "We have to applaud Diddy for only throwing one shot to Ciroq vodka during his club scene with Drizzy, as opposed to using the entire video as a three-minute commercial to promote his brand."[14] Bain was referring to Combs' February 2010 video for "Ciroc Star", which did not appear on the final track listing of Last Train to Paris.[14]
