Reception
Described as "[t]he last solid Hi-Lo's LP before the quartet folded in 1964," This Time It's Love was awarded three stars by John Bush in his Allmusic review, which goes on to note:
This Time It's Love was a ballads-only album, and thus much less snappy and swinging than previous records like the Marty Paich extravaganza And All That Jazz or the Rosemary Clooney collaboration Ring Around Rosie. The gauzy harmonies of the Hi-Lo's were perfectly suited to slow-dance material, though, and the selections are perfect, arranged by Hi-Lo's associate Clare Fischer (who often played piano with the quartet).
Contemporary reviews were even more flattering, with Billboard issuing a 4-star review ("the singing is just the same as always, top drawer, imaginative, fresh and done with great skill"), and American Record Guide giving its "recommend[ation] with glowing acclaim," describing the Hi-Lo's as one of the "most compelling, most ingratiating, most musically sharp" groups of its kind.
