Critical reception

In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton described the song as a "fairly standard piece of Brit soul".[4] Alan Jones from Music Week felt that after the massive "I Never Felt Like This Before", "Mica Paris tackles a less flowing, looser and altogether jazzier song. Vocally superb, but lacking the commercial appeal of the aforementioned single, "I Wanna Hold On to You" is likely to peter out a good 10 or so places lower."[5] Ian McCann from NME wrote, "Standard understated and impossibly unimaginative soul groove."[6] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update described it as "EnVogue-ish" and "slinky".[7] Damon Albarn and Alex James of Blur reviewed the song for Smash Hits, giving it five out of five. Albarn said that "she definitely sounds more and more like Anita Baker the more records she puts out." He added, "Mica is a really sexy woman, it's sexy music. It gives me the horn. It's energetic and sexy."[8]
