Billboard for example, said that “With a few exceptions, overall musical direction is more straight-forward rock’n’roll this time, which is the perfect environment for her unique vocal style.” Unlike Heart of Stone and Cher, Love Hurts received less attention in the North America. It was certificated Gold in the U.S. and Platinum in Canada, but failed in both charts. In European countries the album was very successful, and peak at number one in four countries: Austria, Ireland, Norway and UK. In UK the album, debuts at the number one and remains for six consecutive weeks. After, for five weeks, remain in top three.
