As with his previous single, "Teardrops", the song was an attempt by Harrison to make his music sound contemporary, to appease the commercial concerns of Warner Bros. Records. Disillusioned with the 1980s pop scene, Harrison refused to promote the release and withdrew from music-making for over four years.[1] In the opinion of Ultimate Classic Rock critic Nick DeRiso, "Wake Up My Love" sounds "as dated an item as any Beatles-related '80s release this side of [Paul McCartney's] 'Spies Like Us'".[2]
Cashbox said that it is "one of [Harrison's] more aggressive pop productions."[3]
