Critical reception
British magazine Music Week gave "I Will Come to You" a full score of five out of five and named it Single of the Week, writing, "With its extremely catchy singalong chorus and big, dramatic build, this has huge Christmas hit written ail over it and could well upsel the bookies' predictions by going all the way to the top."[1]
Music video
