On the European Hot 100 charts, it charted at number ten, giving Jackson his second Europe top ten single. In Jackson's native country of Scotland, "Don't Call this Love" debuted at number one on the Scottish Singles Charts, remaining on the top position for two weeks. In total, "Don't Call this Love" spent twenty-two weeks in the Scottish Top 100 Singles charts and six weeks in the UK Top 100 Singles Charts.

"Don't Call this Love" received largely positive reviews from media critics following its release. Digital Spy commented "Don't Call this Love is a thoroughly pleasant, classic-sounding ballad that anyone from Ronan Keating to Cliff Richard could carry off", further stating that "the luxuriant strings swell in all the right places, and Jackson's vocals are just are as smooth as they were on The X Factor, but there's a lack of character here that the glossy production can't quite disguise". Meanwhile, the BBC stated "there's really nothing going on here that isn't on your average James Morrison or Adele single, so the 'authentic music' brigade can shut up too. It's not all bad, it's not all good. He's not going to be around for a very long time, nor is he a national embarrassment".
