Critical reception
The single was reviewed in the October 22, 1994 issue of Billboard magazine. The review said, "Parton delivers one of her classics with the help of a stellar backup band that includes background vocalists Alison Krauss and Rhonda Vincent. Culled from her just-released Heartsongs album, this live , all acoustic setting gives the song – and Parton's angelic voice – room to shine through."
Commercial performance
While "To Daddy" failed to chart, the B-side, "PMS Blues", received enough airplay to debut and peak at number 70 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated October 15, 1994. It charted for four weeks.
