Specifying in a four star review for New Release Tuesday, Sarah Fine writes, "Granted, while there is nothing about Love Ran Red that stands out as particularly groundbreaking, the material presented is incredibly rich and continues his ever evolving melodic experimentation... Love Ran Red will go down as yet another success in the Tomlin legacy and it is a much welcomed addition." In a two star review for Indie Vision Music, Ian Zandi criticizing, "there is not much to like about it... Skip Tomlin this year and invest in something worthwhile."
