Upon the 1989 release of the song, Robin Smith from ''[[Record Mirror]]'' wrote, "The cover picture looks as if these two have spent the night sleeping on a park bench, but 'Your Love Takes Me Higher' is a pulsating, fiesty little number with almost the same magnetism as the [[Pet Shop Boys]]' '[[Left to My Own Devices|Left To My Own Devices]]'.

Critical reception

[edit]

Upon the 1989 release of the song, Robin Smith from Record Mirror wrote, "The cover picture looks as if these two have spent the night sleeping on a park bench, but 'Your Love Takes Me Higher' is a pulsating, fiesty little number with almost the same magnetism as the Pet Shop Boys' 'Left To My Own Devices'. One of this week's nice surprises."[1] In their 1990-review of the song, Music & Media commented, "The Beloved are probably the most sophisticated of the post-house pop boom. They combine the thumping rhythms of that genre with an ability to manipulate atmospherics that meshes perfectly with the current nouveau hippy mentality. Add a dash of humour, a disciplined production and you have one of the best new bands around."[2] David Giles from Music Week wrote, "Their blueprint is pretty sound, though the vocals let the whole thing down by being flat and indie-like rather than stirring and emotive. They've got a long way to go yet."[3]

Impact and legacy

British DJ and record producer John Digweed picked the song as one of his favourites in 1996, adding, "Great vocal, great mix [Calyx of Isis Mix]. Still in my box and still drops."[4]
