Critical reception
AllMusic editor William Cooper wrote that on the song, Rozalla "manages to squeeze in more house-oriented grooves". [2] Larry Flick of Billboard magazine named it "yet another potential No. 1 hit. Song-wise, this is far more satisfying in melodic structure and lyrical content than the previous 'Are You Ready to Fly'. Its anthemic stance is given depth by a vocal that is not nearly as over the top as in the past." [3] British Fact ranked "Faith (In the Power of Love)" at 20 in their list of "21 Diva-House Belters That Still Sound Incredible" in 2014. Joe Muggs said, "Never a massive pop hit like 'Everybody's Free' (though it did make it to number 11), and yeah alright, this one is pretty high in sugar – but go on, give yourself up to it and revel in the fact there was a period of pop culture when these lyrics were not only acceptable but normal." [4]
James Hamilton from Music Week named it Pick of the Week in the category of Dance, describing the track as a "girl wailed jumpy powerful galloper." [5] Record Mirror wrote that "Rozalla's got a great voice and the Band of Gypsies produce a fine house backing for her". The reviewer added further that "like 'Born to Love Ya', this starts with uplifting piano and continues in much same garagey vein. It's got a superb searing '70s synth horn melody, memorable chorus chants, a vibesy bridge and bright beats." [6] Marc Andrews from Smash Hits stated that "it should easily find itself a cheery wee home inside the charts for Zimbabwe's most famous daughter." [7]
