Critical reception
Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song three out of five, writing that "Because of You" "is a gentle shuffle with widescreen orchestra and jangly acoustic guitar underpinning some excellent emoting from Gabrielle." He added, "Much in the mood of 'Dreams', though not so haunting, it is nonetheless a natural for the Top 20."[1] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update named it a "nagging typical ditty" in his weekly dance column.[2]
Music video
The accompanying music video for "Because of You" was directed by British photographer and artist Kate Garner and produced by Sarah Bayliss for Medialab.
