Loveline is Tavares' second successive album to fail to register on either the pop or the R&B top 100.
The incipit of the song Loveline is very similar to the Alton McClain and Destiny's 1979 hit "It Must Be Love".
Billboard described the album as a "well-paced collection of driving, mid-tempo rhythm numbers and soft, expressive ballads." The magazine also wrote that their singles capture the dynamics of their previous singles.[3]
