Critical reception

British magazine Music Week rated "I Belong to You" four out of five, complimenting it as "hugely catchy dance pop." The reviewer added, "It is unlikely to get as much exposure as her Eurovision contender, but deserves to be a smash."[4] Pop Rescue stated that the song followed "Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit" "perfectly as it is fairly similar in sound", noting that it "really gallops along, with a chugging fat synth line as Gina's vocals sit flawlessly on top. This is a lovely dance pop song."[5] A reviewer from Sunday Mirror described it as "high energy".[6]
