Retropop Magazine called the album "her most personal body of work to date" saying "the LP sees the Australian superstar working through a period of personal turmoil and laying herself bare through her pointed lyrics and exceptional vocal performance." [6]

Jeff Jenkins from Stack Magazine said "Her voice remains an instrument of beauty, but Arena refuses to trade on past glories in this collection of soaring, dramatic pop." [7]

Bryget Chrisfield from Beat Magazine said "[Tina] boasts one of the greatest Australian voices of all time and Love Saves rightfully places Tina's impeccable pipes front and centre." Chrisfield closed her review by saying "with her first album of original material in eight years, it's thrilling to witness Tina strutting into full power." [8]
