Stewart released it on his 1978 album Blondes Have More Fun, and it was one of four songs on the album co-written by Stewart and Grainger.[1] The song was released as a single in 1979, reaching #11 on the UK charts, and #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.[2][3][4][5] It spent 8 weeks on the UK charts and 6 weeks on the US charts.[3][6] The song also reached the Top Ten in several countries, including Ireland.[7] Billboard magazine placed Stewart #7 on its list of the Top Single Artists of 1979 on the strength of "Ain't Love a Bitch" and its predecessor, "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?".[8] Rolling Stone critic Janet Maslin excoriated the song as being "unexpectedly sensitive, with a soft, strum-along melody and a bunch of namby-pamby characters doo-doo-doing a background chorus while Stewart croons about old girlfriends."[9] She further criticizes the song for taking material that could have been tough and making it sound "like the 1400th cover version of 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco.'"[9] CD Review commented on the references within "Ain't Love a Bitch" to Stewart's earlier song "Maggie May", describing the music as "bouncy".[10] High Fidelity objected to the lyrics blaming women for love's problems.[11] The Albany Herald also noted that the song is autobiographical, and incorporates elements from Stewart's "musical and personal past."[12] Stereo Review described the song as a "repellent frat-house love song".[13] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic described the song as being in the same mold as "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?".[14] Author Barry Alan Farber described the line "Ain't we all a little juvenile" as encapsulating the way people retain pieces of their adolescence into adulthood.[15]Stewart performed the song on Dave Allen's Dave Allen at Large.[16] A video of the song was included on the DVD included in the deluxe editions of the compilation album Some Guys Have All the Luck / The Definitive Rod Stewart.[17] References1. ^{{cite book|title=Rod Stewart: The New Biography|author1=Ewbank, T. |author2=Hildred, S.|pages=174–175|year=2005|publisher=Citadel Press|isbn=978-0-8065-2644-7}} 2. ^{{cite book|title=Rock Movers and Shakers|author =Lazell, B.|page=286|year=1989|publisher=Billboard Publications|isbn=978-0-8230-7608-6}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=The Official Charts - Rod Stewart|url=http://www.theofficialcharts.com/artist/_/rod%20stewart/|publisher=The Official Charts|accessdate=2011-08-22}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Billboard Hits of the World|date=3 March 1979|publisher=Billboard Magazine}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Blondes Have More Fun Billboard singles|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/blondes-have-more-fun-r19117/charts-awards/billboard-single|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=2011-08-23}} 6. ^{{cite book|title=The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits|author =Whitburn, J.|page=305|publisher=Billboard Publications|year=1985|isbn=978-0-8230-7518-8}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=The Irish Charts - All There Is To Know|url=http://www.irishcharts.ie/facts/most_hits.htm|publisher=irishcharts.ie|accessdate=2015-10-03}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Top Single Artists of 1979|date=22 December 1979|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CSQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT61&dq=%22ain't+love+a+bitch%22+stewart&hl=en&ei=3rtTTtaNEMTYgQfw9uEh&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CEkQ6AEwCDgU#v=onepage&q=%22ain't%20love%20a%20bitch%22%20stewart&f=false}} 9. ^1 {{cite web|title=Blondes Have More Fun|author =Maslin, J.|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/blondes-have-more-fun-19790208|date=8 February 1979|publisher=Rolling Stone|accessdate=2014-04-15}} 10. ^{{cite news |publisher=CD Review |title=Ain't Love a Bitch |page=xliii|volume=8|issue=1-6|year=1991}} 11. ^{{cite news |title=Ain't Love a Bitch |publisher=High Fidelity|page=294|volume=29|issue=1-6|year=1979}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Rockers Modify Attitude Towards Disco|author =United Press International|date=31 January 1979|newspaper=The Albany Herald|page=11|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=dmtEAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ebIMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1315,5577730&dq=blondes-have-more-fun&hl=en}} 13. ^{{cite news|publisher=Stereo Review |title=Ain't Love a Bitch |volume=42|page=130|year=1979}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Blondes Have More Fun|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/blondes-have-more-fun-r19117|author =Erlewine, S.T.|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=2011-08-23}} 15. ^{{cite book|title=Rock 'n' roll wisdom: what psychologically astute lyrics teach about life|author =Farber, B.A.|page=110|year=2007|publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-275-99164-7}} 16. ^{{cite news|title=TV Guide|volume=28|year=1980|page=26}} 17. ^{{cite web|title=The Definitive Rod Stewart|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-definitive-rod-stewart-deluxe-edition-cddvd-r1446213|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=2011-08-23}} External links
