Critical reception[]

Alan Jones from Music Week wrote that "Because of You" "is a gentle shuffle with widescreen orchestra and jangly acoustic guitar underpinning some excellent emoting from Gabrielle." He added, "Much in the mood of Dreams, though not so haunting, it is nonetheless a natural for the Top 20."[2]
