Recording and production

Described as an honest and open discourse into the life of Williams, the album, features guest appearances from fellow New Zealand rappers Mareko & Scribe, label mates Temple Jones, Erakah and D Love, plus a duet with his sister Lavina Williams.

Critical reception

Dane Anderson of More FM said that on Young Love "Williams thrives, on the faster, more rhythmic songs...While the slower songs aren't quite up to the par of say Usher or Ne-Yo just yet, you can't deny the catchiness in them."

Commercial performance

Young Love peaked at its debut position of number five on the New Zealand Album Chart before falling out after eight weeks. It then re-entered the chart after the release of the Collectors Edition, and was certified Gold, selling over 7,500 copies. The album spent a total of twenty-eight weeks in the album chart.
