In a review of the Batman Forever soundtrack, John Everson of the Southtown Star described the song as "the album's sweetest ballad" which "sounds more like Everything but the Girl" than Tracey Thorn's contribution to the soundtrack.[2] Neil Davidson of The Canadian Press commented: "Despite the bang-bang nature of this action flick, some of the best stuff is lo-fi and low-volume. The best examples are Eddi Reader's "Nobody Lives Without Love" and Mazzy Star's "Tell Me Now"".[3]
Scott Hinkley Jr. of the Gannett News Service wrote: "Aside from the big names [on the soundtrack], there is another song that could see heavy radio play. "Nobody Lives Without Love" by Eddi Reader is a ballad that rivals Brandy's contribution ("Where Are You Now?"). If the rest of her material is as impressive as her voice, Reader could get as big a boost from this record as the movie itself".[4] Brian S. Maloney of the Santa Cruz Sentinel felt that "a compelling case can be made for Eddi Reader's ballad".[5]
