Critical reception

The song received positive reviews from most music critics. Amy Linden from Entertainment Weekly described it as a "real beauty" in her review of The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album.[3] Alan Jones from Music Week stated that the song "is more uptempo than we've had from her of late, a cheerful uplifting and very commercial cut which draws a polished and soulful vocal performance from her, punctuated by a wailing sax."[4] Stephen Holden from The New York Times called it a "superior piece of pop-disco fluff that Lisa Stansfield infuses with a passionate intensity."[5] Bob Waliszewski of Plugged In noted it as "a positive tune about supportive romance".[6] Arion Berger from Rolling Stones said that Stansfield "holds up a sturdy vocal wall of Jericho" on "Someday (I'm Coming Back)".[7]
