Critical reception

The single was reviewed in the November 8, 1997 issue of Billboard magazine. The review said, "Parton is a perfect match for this charming ballad, which is featured on the soundtrack to the animated Fox-TV special, Annabelle's Wish. Her voice quivers with sincere emotion as she embraces the song's message of sharing and praise of a higher being. She is complemented by swirls of orchestral strings and lilting piano lines. Producer Steve Dorff deserves a round of applause for not giving in to the temptation to build the track to a bombastic climax. Rather, he trusts Parton, as well as the melody and lyrics, to tug at the heart without gimmickry. And they most certainly do."
