The Calgary Herald deemed the album "a blend of guitar-driven rock numbers and lofty lyrics." [9] The Globe and Mail wrote that "Osborne and co-producer David Ogilvie focus attention on the hopeful, even naive humanism of the songs and on the subtle but powerful interplay." [10] The Windsor Star noted the "guitar-driven sound derived from late-1960s folk-rock." [8] The Washington Post labeled the album "Vancouver's entry in the R.E.M. sweepstakes," writing: "Sweetly melodic and—it almost goes without saying—jangly, Fight for Love also has some guts." [11]
