to win a BMI R&B Award for Song of the Year and Songwriter Award. The song also won Carey the 1991 Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Urban Contemporary New Artist. Commercial performance "Love Takes Time" managed to replicate the commercial success of its predecessor "Vision of Love" in the United States. It debuted at number 73 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 15, 1990. In its ninth week, it reached the summit of the chart, where it spent three weeks. Furthermore, it spent seven weeks within the top ten and 17 weeks within the top 40, as well as being certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It topped every other Billboard chart for which it was eligible, including the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks. Because its success was divided over two calendar years, it did not rank high on Billboards year-end charts, being ranked at number 76 in 1990 and number 69 in 1991. Internationally, "Love Takes Time" failed to emulate its US success in any other market except Canada, where it reached number two on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart. It did reach the top ten in Iceland and New Zealand, but did not make much of an impact elsewhere, becoming a moderate top-20 hit in Australia, and a top-40 hit in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. It failed to reach the top 40 in Germany, peaking at number 57. Music video The single's video, directed by Jeb Brien and Walter Maser, features Carey walking around a beach after a man walks away with luggage in Venice, Los Angeles.

After this, she didn't perform the song until 2013, when she sang a snippet of the song during the Australian tour. After this, Carey included the song in
