Critical reception

AllMusic editor Alex Henderson complimented the Heavy D & the Boyz version as "melodic", and "fun and escapist in nature". [7] J.D. Considine from The Baltimore Sun wrote, "If the Hevster can keep serving up singles as infectious as "Now That We Found Love", he'll get few complaints." [8] Larry Flick from Billboard viewed it as a "fab hip-house interpretation" and "an invigorating peak-hour anthem". [9] He also noted that the producer "adds a mainstream gloss that could spark a top 40 breakthrough hit." [10] Henderson and DeVancy for Cashbox stated that this is a song "to look out for". [11] James Bernard from Entertainment Weekly called it a "fast-paced hip-house jam". [12] Zane from Melody Maker wrote, "Everything that made the original so special is lovingly reproduced with only a smattering of new noises and beats spun in. A perfect party tune." [13] James Hamilton from Music Week named it Pick of the Week in the category of Dance, declaring it as a "jaunty singalong stereo rap". [14] Eric Deggans from The Pittsburgh Press described it as "reggae-flavored". [15] Martin Aston from the Record Mirror Dance Update felt that the track "has been given a bouncy, slick gloss, with a typically snappy slice of rap from the heavyweight poet." [16] Marc Andrews from Smash Hits complimented it as "rap at its most jolly and fun-filled". [17]

Retrospective response

In a 2021 retrospective review, Jesse Ducker from Albumism described "Now That We Found Love" as "a catchy and extremely successful pairing with producer Riley, featuring Aaron Hall’s powerful vocals on the chorus. The song takes some of its inspiration from the O'Jays' song of the same name, but has the most in common with reggae group Third World’s version of the track. Heavy D plays to his strengths here, celebrating the love he’s cultivated and finding new ways to explore its dynamics." [18] In 2017, BuzzFeed ranked it number 59 in their list of "The 101 Greatest Dance Songs Of the '90s". [19] Australian music channel Max included it in their list of "1000 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2013. [20]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Now That We Found Love" was directed by Drew Carolan, [21] featuring Heavy D and dancers performing in an urban backstreet. The dancers are wearing yellow raincoats. At the beginning, as the singer performs, a woman glances through a blind in her window. Later she emerges on a balcony, watching the singer. Heavy D is mostly seen wearing a red jacket, but also occasionally wears a raincoat in various colors, such as black and green. Several guys on the street are playing games with cards or dice. A DJ plays with his turntable and people are dancing. Towards the end, the woman comes walking on the street, meeting Heavy D. Then the two are walking away together from the partying crowd on the street. The video was later made available on Heavy D's official YouTube channel in 2009, and had generated more than 47 million views as of March 2024. [22]
