Sarah Rodman from The Boston Globe named it a "sky-scraping ballad," while Chuck Taylor from Billboard called it a "radio triumph" and "empowering".[6] In the same vein, Ashante Infantry of Toronto Star wrote that the song is a "cringe-worthy diva track".[7] Edna Gundersen of USA Today enjoyed the song, writing that Dion "shows admirable restraint and grace on My Love".[8]

Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine wrote that Linda Perry "didn't offer anything of worth".[9]
