Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard described 'You Never Love the Same Way Twice' as "slammin'", [2] and a "disco bauble that tingles with lush strings and a vocal that is commanding without flying out of control." [3] He complimented Rozalla's voice as a "warm, soulful quality that brings this disco-drenched house mover to vibrant life." He concluded with that "this could be the start of Rozalla's long-deserved ascension into the pop spotlight." In his UK chart commentary, James Masterton felt it is "a far more impressive piece of pop dance" than 'This Time I Found Love'. [4] Alan Jones from Music Week rated it three out of five, noting that "she seems to be back on the right track with this smart urban/house song". [5] Tim Jeffery from the Record Mirror Dance Update stated, "Probably her best single since signing to a major", declaring it "a likely hit." [6] Another Record Mirror editor, James Hamilton, named it an "attractive ditty". [7] Emma Cochrane from Smash Hits viewed it as "a really upbeat dance track that will make you feel good". [8]
