Critical reception[]

A reviewer from Billboard described the song as "a seductive love-call".[1] Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, "The lass from Norwich who has achieved the remarkable feat of becoming a superstar all over the world except in her home country. As a result, predicting the path of this, the third single from her latest album, is a little difficult. The single version is however billed as 'The PM Dawn Version' which may give it a slightly better chance than in its original Shep Pettibone mix."[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media called it a "stomper" and stated that it's a "potential hit".[3] Andy Beevers from Music Week rated it four out of five. He added, "This rather uninspiring mid-tempo song sounds more like an LP track than an obvious single. It benefits from a PM Dawn remix, but a Top 40 placing remains a possibility rather than a certainty."[4]

Music video[]

The music video for "Falling" was very much stylized as Dennis' scene shot in black and white with a glittery background. There are extras (especially white mice) that can be seen, as well as everything falling like nails, paper glitters, thumbtacks and the Cathy Dennis doll.
