Critical reception


A reviewer from Billboard deemed "I Miss You" "among the most potent offerings" from the album.[2] Kingston Informer described it as a "commercial slice of pop from the dance floor master with a penchant for leather."[3] Music writer James Masterton said in his weekly UK chart commentary, "The new single is, as might be expected, a ballad but in actual fact is far better than the current crop of seasonal hits. It's gone in too slow to be a massive Christmas hit, but a good track nonetheless."[4] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "After two massive pop dance hits, this is another, more tender side of this year's biggest new male star. For this ballad he borrowed the sequencer hook out of Seal's Crazy."[5]

Alan Jones from Music Week commented, "An unexpectedly subtle record, with a slow and shuffling beat that draws a subdued but competent vocal from Haddaway. Repeated plays draw out its finer qualities."[6] James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update viewed the song as a "mournful husky smoocher".[7] A reviewer from Reading Evening Post stated that "after two fast-paced dancefloor smashes, Haddaway makes a brave but mistaken move in slowing things down on this deeply ordinary bed foray".[8] Leesa Daniels from Smash Hits called it a "slowie".[9]

Outside Europe, "I Miss You" reached number seven in both Israel and Zimbabwe, and number 44 in Australia.
