In a review for AllMusic, Steven McDonald gave With Love four stars out of five, commenting that it was "a better showing" for Crawford than his previous album Songs from the Stage and Screen. He went on to say that a "big surprise" was Art of Noise keyboardist Anne Dudley's arranging and conducting on "When I Fall in Love", "that would make [arranger and orchestrator] Nelson Riddle nod appreciatively."[1]
