Critical reception

Paul Oldfield from Melody Maker wrote, "Taylor Dayne comes up with the most impatient single this week. The awesome outlines of Rufus and Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody" have been filled in with designer purposefulnes by Arthur Baker-type chatter and grafted crashes and shunts of guitar. "Prove Your Love" is all appetite, avarice and accountancy, trying to overtake its own expectations. Look for the sell-by-date." [3] Andrew Panos from Number One complimented "Prove Your Love" as "a thumpingly catchy disco tune". [4]
