Choosing a favorite from among their dazzling catalog of hits is an impossible task, and once again Per and Marie top themselves with an outstanding example of what hit mass appeal music is all about". Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report commented, "In a Top 40 world starved for true pop music, the arrival of a new release by these two Swedish melody makers deserves bells, whistles and every other type of fanfare imaginable. Swedish newspaper Expressen called it a "powerful ballad" and compared it to " Listen to Your Heart". Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the duo "slow the pace down" for a "familiar power ballad that should push all the right buttons". In his review of Joyride, AllMusic editor Bryan Buss described the song as an "insistent rock ballad" and "painfully pretty". The duo later recorded a Spanish version of the song for their 1996 compilation album Baladas en Español. The bridge consists of three repetitions of Am–G–C–D followed by a progression of E–E 7–Am–C–G–Am. The first two lines of each chorus have a progression of C–F–Am–G–C–F–G–C, with the second half of the chorus amending the sequence to a shortened C–F–Am–G–F–G. The track follows a basic chord sequence of Am–Em–Am–C–G–Am–Em–D in each verse. It is a piano-based rock ballad in the key of F which modulates a step up to G halfway through the song.
According to Ultimate Guitar, the song is written in common time with a moderately fast tempo of 105 beats per minute.
