"Love Me Like You Do" received acclaim from music critics. Samantha Grossman of Time called the song "sultry" and dubbed it a "solid addition to the Fifty Shades soundtrack." Ryan Reed of Rolling Stone opined that "the results [of the song] are grandiose, considering the film's sensual subject matter." Jim Farber of the NY Daily News wrote, "With her little-girl-lost voice, Goulding sounds sweet even when she's courting danger. The music, likewise, goes for a high gloss take on romance, recalling the heavily echoed beats and dense synthesizers of a Phil Collins ballad from the '80s."
