"A Day Without Love" is a song by British band the Love Affair, released as their fourth single in August 1968. It continued the band's success, becoming their third consecutive top-ten hit in the UK.
Reception Reviewing the song for New Musical Express, Derek Johnson wrote "I think the Love Affair have done it again! Certainly the group has acquired the happy knack of turning out wholesome pop records with a strong commercial appeal and this disc maintains the standard". He also described it as "a stimulating, up-beat number that storms along at a dynamic pace, and exudes a terrific atmosphere of vitality". Peter Jones for Record Mirror wrote that "it could be their strongest yet", describing it as "a good and commercial song, with a rather romantic, but tough, edge to it".
