The song was critically acclaimed and established Fox's musical trademark, the coy and unusual voice of lead singer Noosha, described by Dave Thompson of AllMusic as an "exotically accented purr".[2][3][4] Writing for Louder Than War in 2017, Ian Canty described the song as "oddball and addictive"[3] while AllMusic's Dave Thompson has called "Only You Can" and its follow-up "Imagine Me, Imagine You" "two of the most spellbinding UK hits of 1974-1975".[2]
