Critical reception

Alan Jones from Music Week described the song as "a lushly-orchestrated ballad" that serves as the theme to the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Eraser. 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."[1]

Music video

The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan.[2]
