Reception
Blind Love was given 3 out of 5 in a review by All Music.[4]
In The Sell-In, Craig Mathieson said the album, "lived up to Simon Day's belief in the disposability ethic. It spat out one buzzsaw, troublegum tune after another, delivered with punkish verve and given the sheen rooArt hoped for by producer Nick Mainsbridge. It sounded impossibly simple, but that's what distinguished it from the pack."[5]
