Critical reception

Wild Love has attracted favorable critical reviews. In a retrospective biography of Smog, AllMusic's Jason Ankeny called the album "a triumph of abject failure", seeing that it "reflected [Callahan's] bitter obsessions with stunning clarity."[5]

Cat Power later covered "Bathysphere" on her 1996 album What Would the Community Think.
