It was Davis's only number one on the country charts. The track was the most recent number one female duet on a Billboard country music chart based on airplay for over 28 years until ' Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)' by Elle King and Miranda Lambert topped the chart in April 2022. Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, 'LaBelle effectively reinvents the Reba McEntire and Linda Davis hit as a R&B ballad.' In 1997, it appeared on Patti LaBelle's album, Flame. In 1996, Minnelli released the song as a duet with Donna Summer, from Minnelli's album, ' Gently'.

The single went on to win the Grammy award for Best Country Vocal Collaboration, a Country Music Association Award for Vocal Event of the Year, and a TNN/Music City News award for Best Vocal Collaboration. McEntire submitted a demo to Judd and, after not hearing back from her, recorded the song with Davis in June 1993. Brown told her that Judd might record the song if McEntire asked her personally, but added that Judd did not want to record songs about 'marital problems'. McEntire called Tony Brown, then working as a record producer for both her and Judd. McEntire's then-husband and manager, Narvel Blackstock, told her that MCA Records 'would rather record this with somebody more established', such as Wynonna Judd or Trisha Yearwood, both of whom were on the same label at the time. She had wanted to include Linda Davis, then a vocalist in her road band, as a duet partner. It had been pitched to Barbara Mandrell and Liza Minnelli, but McEntire ended up recording it. He recorded it with a trio in which he performed at the time, because he wanted a song that could be sung by the other two members of the trio, both of whom were women. 'Does He Love You' was written in 1982 by Billy Stritch and Sandy Knox. In 2021, a duet version with the singer Dolly Parton was released. It is one of country music's several songs about a love triangle. It was released in August 1993 as the first single from Reba's compilation album Greatest Hits Volume 2. ' Does He Love You' is a song written by Sandy Knox and Billy Stritch, and recorded as a duet by American country music artists Reba McEntire and Linda Davis.
