Allmusic[1]

Loveline reached number four on country album charts and received generally positive reviews. Allmusic retrospectively gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5 and praised it for its "R&B influence" and "disco feel" along with the track's "inspired melodies and unusual chord progressions."

The title song was later recorded by Dr. Hook; their version became their last entry on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #60 in 1982.[2]
