Reception

Jens Kirsch, a writer for the German punk fanzine Ox compared the album with other albums from Hatebreed (The Concrete Confessional) and Born from Pain. He gave the album a positive review, writing:

"Even if the band slowed down to a moderate speed in their music there will be much groove. The counts of gang shouts and the monstrous breakdowns may bring much action in the mosh pit." [1]

Taylor Markarian of Revolver adds that:

"Love Don’t Live Here is a sturdy hardcore record as it’s brazen and to the point. Songs like “Pain,” “Rewind” and the title track spit honest, street tough lyrics and are solid to stomp and throw down to. However, the spirit of ingenuity gets a little lost. While it is clear Lionheart are “still proud of HxC” as they say on their track “Still,” this full-length sticks to the old school hardcore sound and doesn’t step too far out of the bounds." [9]
