Critical reception

[edit]

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave the song a positive review, saying, "This lovely number starts off understated and builds to a gentle emotional crescendo that is effective, not overwrought. Penned by Randy VanWarmer and Rich Alves, the song is a winner, and Wills' and O'Neal's voices blend beautifully."[2]
