Critical reception

The track was met with very positive reviews upon its release. Pitchfork labeled it "Best New Music" and wrote, "But the new AlunaGeorge single, "Your Drums, Your Love", is the work of a pair inhabiting a widescreen space while keeping peculiar production touches intact." Dan Stubbs of NME, who praised: "Remember on the Peanuts cartoons when an adult spoke and it sounded like someone talking through a trumpet? That’s a bit like the weird computery voice singing the title line on this new track from ’90s R&B-indebted London duo AlunaGeorge. Unfortunately, it’s such a good effect it makes the human singing that follows sound a bit boring."[1]

For the chart week dated 20 October 2012, "Your Drums, Your Love" debuted at number fifty on the UK Singles Chart - thus marking the duo's second chart appearance following "After Light" (number 173, 2012).[2]
