The song reached number four on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in November 1998.[2] It was also the title song to a made-for-television movie Forever Love which aired the same year, starring McEntire and Tim Matheson.
Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave the song a mixed review, praising the "sentimental lyric" and "pretty melody" while criticizing the "overly lush pop production". She also criticized McEntire's vocal by saying that it "bounces between being appropriately vulnerable and intimate during the verses to going a little too far on the soaring chorus."[3]
The music video for the song was directed by Gerry Wenner,[4] and was filmed to coincide with the movie's release. It is the only solo video released from Reba's If You See Him record. Filmed in Pasadena, California over one day, it shows footage from the movie, interspersed with scenes of Reba performing the song in a garden. The video premiered to CMT on August 2, 1998.[5]
"Forever Love" debuted on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart the week of July 25, 1998 at number 55, becoming the "Hot Shot Debut" of the week.[6] It would peak at number 4 on November 14, 1998. On Radio & Records, the track would reach the top for the week of October 30, 1998.[7]
