Critical reception
Jason Elias of Allmusic proclaimed And Love Goes On a "splashy track" and noted that "Maurice White's vocal is flawless here, it doesn't really matter what platitudes o' love he's pushing here. Given the song's odd melody, vocalist Phillip Bailey's multi tracked backing vocals are particularly sparkling". Billboard called the song an "uptempo track highlighted by a fluid vocal, percussive beat and accumulated with a tasty arrangement". Sal Caputo of the Gannett News Service also described the tune as "a syrupy love song that's redeemed by its lack of pretension".
