The album's release was announced in early October 2018, alongside an Australian tour. In a statement, the band said "''To Love You'' explores the idea that there's more to love than pure romance. Not only romantic love; it explores different forms of love, such as loving the people around you, loving those who can't express that they need love, as well as loving yourself."
Reception
Emily Blackburn from The Music game the album 4 out of 5 saying "''To Love You'' is openly authentic and raw at its core, delivering the ups and downs of whirlwind loves with tracks you can’t help but dance along too.".
Holly Leszczynski from The AU Review said "With a brilliant combination of upbeat, danceable electronic tracks and passionate, pop ballads, the album is one which will find itself permanently embedded in your summer playlist.".
Apple Music reviewed the album saying "On their sentimental debut, Sydney trio Glades trace the good, bad, and ugly of relationships and discover a universal truth: There's always a place for synth-pop power ballads, especially if you've been wronged." adding "Glades make glass-half-full love songs that you can sing, dance, and cry to all at once."
Lauren from Sounds of Oz described the album as a "perfect pop for the new millennium, with a fresh sound anchored by real heart."
