Critical reception

Larry Flick of Billboard characterized the "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" as a "breezy, finger poppin' pop gem" and anticipated that the song would be "light enough to make the grade at top 40 and AC formats." [3] Kara Manning of Rolling Stone called it "one of Nicks' best songs in years." [4] Knight Ridder newspaper called the song a "charmer, thanks to Nicks' relaxed vocals and its seizing and chipper pop-rock nature." [5]
