Bécaud recorded the song in French as L'Amour est mort on his 1981 eponymous album. Billboard Magazine critic Vicki Pipkin called "Love on the Rocks" a "powerful ballad in true Diamond style." Billboard also called the song "one of Diamond's more powerful readings." Neil Diamond biographer Laura Jackson describes the lyrics as taking "a sometimes cynical look at a man who is trapped in a relationship and is disillusioned with life." Allmusic critic Johnny Loftus calls it a "lite FM favorite" and "classic, raw-throated Neil." Author T. Mike Childs rated it as a "terrific" ballad. Pittsburgh Press music editor Carl Apone claimed that Diamond was at his best in The Jazz Singer in the songs "Hello Again" and "Love on the Rocks." In the movie, Paul Nicholas does a punk/new wave version of "Love on the Rocks." (en)
