Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "It's always a pleasure to hear Williams work her smooth style in a ballad setting. Time continues to treat her voice well, as evidenced by this theme song". He also noted, "She displays a warm and worldly quality within a wonderfully theatrical arrangement by David Foster. She soars with the verve of a young Shirley Bassey over brassy horn flourishes and a sweet undercurrent of orchestral strings." Alan Jones from Music Week described the song as "a lushly-orchestrated ballad". He added, "Williams sings it immaculately and deserves to have another hit to sit alongside Save The Best For Last but, while something og an emotional maelstrom, the song is also rather subtle and could easily escape attention — although it would probably be a Top 10 hit in the hands of Celine Dion."
