"You Need Love" is a song by Styx written by Dennis DeYoung. Following the success of the 1974 re-release of the single "Lady" from the album Styx II, "You Need Love" from that album was released as a follow-up single.
Cash Box said "with a dynamite synthesizer-guitar-rhythm-vocal intro leading the way, Styx explodes with lightning-quick guitar work and a slick pace that breaks it all up" and praised the guitar solos and organ passage.[2] Record World said that "Guitar virtuosity melds with [Styx'] brilliant vocal harmonies, adding further excitement to their burgeoning career."[3]
