Critical reception
Upon its US released in February 1995, the single was reviewed in the March 5, 1995 issue of Billboard magazine. The review said, "Diana Ross' 1991 hit is faithfully covered by Iglesias and Parton. Although both performers separately bring an engaging charm to the song, their voices often sound sadly mismatched during the chorus. However, David Foster and Albert Hammond's sweeping production makes the track a viable AC radio contender with an arrangement that is laced with orchestral strings and thunderous drums."

The single peaked at number 45 in the Netherlands on the Mega Top 50 and number 35 in Belgium.
