According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Love Sick received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 68 out of 100 from 5 critic scores. Clash magazine wrote that Love Sick "often thrills when Don is left on his own" and that he uses "flows that blur the lines between rap and R&B."[2] Rolling Stone wrote about Toliver, "it’s worth considering his superficiality more of a feature than a bug. He’s developed a reputation as a sort of Diet Travis due to the artists’ close association, but there are worse things to be than reliable."[4]
