The three artists shared their views on the single. Guetta said "This to me is a summer dance record, and I think it spreads an important message of love and just how powerful it is. I really enjoyed working once again with Becky and working with Ella for the first time was also very exciting. It was a pleasure to work with both these incredible artists." Hill took the opportunity to praise the song's other producers (Riley and Harvey), whilst also noting that it was a shame "that women don't duet together more regularly". Speaking about how both she and Henderson became involved, Hill said "I fell in love with this record the moment I heard it... I knew Ella and I would sound perfect together." Henderson added "This one has been cooking up in the oven for a while so finally letting the world hear it means so much!" EDM Tunes's Matt Seirra compared "Crazy What Love Can Do" to earlier songs by Italian house producers Meduza and English house duo Goodboys, both of whom Hill had previously worked with on the 2019 song "Lose Control".
