When I Find You Love is the third studio album by singer Jean Carn, released in 1979 on the Philadelphia International label.
Reception
Andrew Hamilton of AllMusic gave special recognition to the production talents of Dexter Wansel, Jack Faith, and the duo of Jerry Butler and John Usry, stating their tracks "...scored on many different levels. "My Love Don't Come Easy," with its come-hither groove, was a mid-charting R&B favorite. "What's on Your Mind," "Give It Up," and particularly "Was That All It Was" became dance club hits."
While lauded by Billboard for its "gently clipped disco shuffle", lead single "My Love Don't Come Easy" peaked at No. 43 on the R&B chart and did not cross over to the dance charts. A trio of second singles including standout "Was That All It Was" peaked at No. 22 on the dance charts.
