Reception
Leroy Douresseaux, writing for Comic Book Bin, felt that the strong settings of the manga were quite believable, both the small business of the detective-agency-cum-cat-parlour and Yoshiyuki's family home. Melinda Beasi, writing for PopCultureShock, was disappointed at Yasuie raping Yoshiyuki as being a mechanism to force Yoshiyuki's return to his family, and felt that the same situation could have been achieved another way that would be less discomfiting for people who do not like non-consensual sex in yaoi. Beasi felt that otherwise the relationship between the characters was "well-developed" and "frankly adorable". ActiveAnime enjoyed the mixing of comedy and soap operatic drama, feeling Live For Love would appeal to fans of Fake and Yellow.
