Critical reception
Dave Marsh of the Philadelphia Daily News exclaimed "Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton should get a hold of the solo Roland Bautista plays on Fall in Love with Me, which simply rips the song's already skyrocketing energy level to another dimension." Charles McCollum of the Hartford Courant found that "Fall in Love with Me -the set's new single - is particularly striking with a fine, quasi-scat vocal from
(Maurice) White." Vanity Fair wrote "Fall in Love With Me, the single, is a classic disco throbber, with Maurice White inviting listeners to help yourself to all of me".
Connie Johnson of the Los Angeles Times noted that "Fall in Love with Me and The Speed of Love allow for scatty rude-boy vocals from (Maurice) White. They're also packed with the chiming, multilayered backup vocals and complex melodic development that are quintessential EWF." Christopher Connelly of Rolling Stone exclaimed "A bit of the grit that surfaced on Raise! gives 'Fall in Love with Me' a needed push". Chip Stern of Musician wrote "Fall in Love With Me featur(es) White's gruff but kindly midrange". Craig Lytle of AllMusic proclaimed that the song has "a festive rhythm and sauntering vocals".
