In a retrospective review of "We Love You", AllMusic critic Dave Thompson wrote that the song "had all the makings of a smash [hit]", while praising its instrumentation and "splendidly anthemic chorus". He also observed "barely veiled lyrics with anti-militaristic intent".[2] KROQ included the track in its "Top 106.7 Songs of 1987" (the year of its US release).[3]
