Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "melodramatic power ballad", noting that its "booming production values and a tearful vocal will push all the right buttons".[4] Randy Clark from Cashbox said it is "full of Celine's brilliant power, and sounds like it might be another AC success."[5] Diane Rufer and Ron Fell from the Gavin Report commented, "A Diane Warren song sung by Ms. Dion's velvet hammer voice. An unbeatable combination does it again".[6] Christopher Smith from TalkAboutPopMusic stated that it "throws everything possible in, some electric guitars, Celine’s soaring vocals and a beautiful, long fade out".[7]
The accompanying music video for "Nothing Broken but My Heart" was made for the edited version, because the original track lasts almost six minutes. It was released in August 1992 and features actors practicing the Romeo and Juliet play. It was directed by Lyne Charlebois and filmed in Montreal.
