Writing for Renowned for Sound, Brandon Veevers awarded Human Love five out of five stars and commented that the album was "easily [Faulkner's] finest work since his debut album," Hand Built by Robots (2007). "Human Love showcases Faulkner as a gifted guitarist, a versatile performer and a truly sublime vocalist with an unrivaled songwriting talent. Moving effortlessly between somber ballads like the minimalist 'Break' and the eclectic and quirky 'Can I Be Enough' through to world-scented toe tappers like 'Up Up and Away' and 'Far to Fall', Faulkner has raised the bar yet again and delivered a truly exceptional collection."[7]
In a mixed review for the London Evening Standard, Andre Paine noted that "Faulkner emerged as a rootsy songwriter ... and that energy is intact on the clattering 'Up Up and Away', the blues-pop of 'Stay and Take' and the world music rhythms of 'Far to Fall'," however, the albums was "polished but occasionally forgettable."[6]
