Critical reception

Larry Flick of Billboard wrote that "the song deftly illustrates two notably different sides of La Blige. In its original form, she is the picture of quiet strength, letting producer/writer Babyface drive the pleading ballad to radio-friendly effect. In a live setting, Blige unleashes a white-knuckled intensity that no producer has fully captured yet. She rips through the song with a fervor that is reminiscent of a young Gladys Knight, breathing tangible subtext into every syllable. Also, the live arrangement breaks the track down to a '70s-styled soul throwdown that will educate Bilge's young fans, while delighting mature listeners to no end."[1] Jonathan Bernstein from Entertainment Weekly described it as "an atypically tart country-blues lament", noting that it "features a choir of aching Mary J.’s."[2] A reviewer from Music Week gave the song three out of five, adding that "this touching, torch-like ballad could be just the single to cross Blige over to a wider audience."[3] The magazine's Alan Jones stated that the singer's "reign as the Queen of Hip Hop Soul is likely to continue with the release of Missing You, a gorgeous new Babyface song with gospel undertones."[4]
