Reception

Mattias Huss of Release Magazine gave Love Is the Law a mixed review, saying "Gary's work is fumbling about uncertainly, turning over some interesting stones but never really stopping to look under them" and "no track really makes a mark in this unwholesome wholeness, but promise is hiding in there." [10]
