Critical reception
Billboard described the song as 'dreamy and evocative' and 'multilayered and intricate'. They noted further that 'rich tapestry of sound lulls the listener with the promise of complex musical textures. Enya's understated vocals swell into effective wavelike crescendos that ebb and flow with the picturesque melody.' Music & Media wrote that 'it is as dreamy as her 1988 global hit "Orinoco Flow", but more dressed with instruments'. People Magazine noted that 'the Irish singer's angelic vocals lift this elegant and avant-garde waltz heavenward'.
