==Critical reception==
Ian McCann from ''[[New Musical Express|NME]]'' wrote, "''Nuttin' but Love'', wrapped in a truly crummy sleeve, is more of what the D' does best, ie getting serious on the sofa while keeping one foot firmly on the shag pile. While it's hardly more than solid, standard, night-on mainstream rap, with a couple of cuts overseen by [[Pete Rock]], you know that at least it's gonna be booming in parts."<ref name="nme"/>
