Shoot Me with Your Love

John Bush from AllMusic said the song "mixes a disco style with more familiar house and pop elements, with Peter Cunnah's stronger-than-usual vocals."[1] Larry Flick from Billboard described it as an "ebullient disco/house spinner that sparks with optimistic lyrics and a joy-ful vocal by front man Peter Cunnah. The chorus builds to anthemic proportions in the context of the track's rattling percussion and rolling piano lines." He also noted "the tireless and oh-so-contagious tone of the album version."[2] Music & Media wrote that Cunnah "writes songs which will still be played in five years time. It's like George Michael's Freedom II. Additional piano is played by Jools Holland." Chris Moore, head of music on Red Dragon/Cardiff gave it 36-40 plays a week. He said, "After all those rereleases and remixes of singles off their first album, it's good to finally get something new from D:Ream. It's a great pop record, bound to be top 5 in the UK."[3] Pop Rescue stated, "This is an extremely up-beat track and one that’s very catchy. It’s mid-section choral breaks harks back to Things Can Only Get Better."[4] Smash Hits noted it as a "fantastically energetic pop-dance single that will see D:Ream back where they belong - at the top of the charts."[5]
