Writing a thousand-word essay in the LA Times, Ann Powers observes "Love and Its Opposite resides firmly in the current moment. The album also draws a map toward Nashville... Thorn would surely consider it an honor to stand among the several generations of country stars - male and female - who have proved that there's more to aging gracefully than showing off a hard body and a feline heart. With Love and Its Opposite, she earns that place.

USA Today's Elysa Gardner notes that the single Oh, The Divorces! "captures, with deceptive elegance, the everyday devastation of life and love interrupted."

In his New Yorker feature, Sasha Frere-Jones writes that Thorn "has added a fantastic album to her solo catalogue."
