Critical reception
Billboard described the song as "a smooth ballad with lush strings and a tight production that make it appealing".[4] Paul Sexton of Record Mirror called You an "After The Love Has Gone clone"[5] Stephen Holden of Rolling Stone called You an example of "Bee Gees-influenced pop romanticism".[6] Phyl Garland of Stereo Review also called "You, the (album's) standout." Garland went on to state that "You is every bit as good as After the Love Has Gone on I Am which is saying quite a lot".[7]
