Reception

Critical response

Bernie Franco of PEP.ph gave the film a positive review, stating "When The Love Is Gone can hardly be accused of simply riding on the bandwagon because it is a remake of the 1983 Filipino movie "Nagalit ang Buwan sa Haba ng Gabi". [23] He also stated that "the twists in the story are definitely something to watch for and these separate When The Love is Gone from other drama movies also tackling the same theme" and [23] "is worth watching despite the proliferation of movies about extramarital affairs nowadays." [23] He also praised the cast's performance and the film's script. [23]

Pablo Tariman of The Philippine Star also gave the film a positive review, stating that "When the Love Is Gone is another polished variation of a beautiful love story sensually told with wit and finesse." [24] He also praised Ranay's astounding performance as a director. [24]

However, Phylber Ortiz Dy gave a negative review gave the film 1 out of 5 stars, stating that When the Love Is Gone "is all just nonsense. The relationships don't make any sense, and the people do not act like real human beings." [25] He also stated that "When the Love is Gone only gets worse in its endgame. There it disregards whatever trauma the characters went through to provide a shade of a happy ending [...] Nothing really happened. The whole thing was just an exercise in creating scenes where women yell at each other and generally behave badly. It is toxic and hateful and generally just terrible." [25]
