"Love Takes Time" is a song by the soft rock band Orleans. It peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1979[1] and was their biggest hit since their 1976 single "Still the One."[2] The song also reached number 13 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart. In Canada, "Love Takes Time" peaked at #23 for two weeks.[3]

It is arguably their third most popular song overall, behind "Dance with Me" and "Still the One," and their most popular song without lead singer John Hall.[4] Written by Larry Hoppen and Marilyn Mason, it was the first track on the band's 1979 album Forever.[5]

Critical reception

The song received mixed reviews. Though popular, the song was called "bubbly but shallow" by the Lawrence Journal-World.[6] Cash Box said it has "a strong, rolling chorus" as well as "synthesizer coloration, firm pounding beat, piano, searing guitar fills, tambourine and dynamic singing."[7] Record World called it "a slick pop rocker right in the same mold [as previous Orleans' hits]."[8]
