The song was included on his 1973 album Hard Nose the Highway. It was a Top Forty single hit when released in April 1973.Jackie De Shannon sang back-up vocals.
ZigZag's review called it "a second cousin to 'Crazy Love' and almost as good." It was a popular concert performance tune for Morrison during the seventies.
Stephen Holden in his Rolling Stone review of the Hard Nose the Highway songs said, "Next is the ingratiatingly melodic 'Warm Love', which embodies in all its details a sensuous appreciation of life and music."

"Warm Love" was one of the songs included on Morrison's 1974 acclaimed live album, It's Too Late To Stop Now. This version of the song was also featured as the B-side of the single "Gloria", only released in Germany.
