Critical reception

[edit]

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard magazine gave a favorable review, comparing the song to Faith Hill's "This Kiss".[1] In his retrospective series "Every No. 1 Single of the Nineties", Kevin John Coyne gave it an unfavorable review, calling it a "This Kiss" re-write "sung in a baby voice that would've made even Barbara Fairchild say, 'That's a bit much.'"[2]

Chart performance

[edit]

"I Love You" debuted at No. 43 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for the week of July 31, 1999. It subsequently reached No. 1 in late 1999 and remained there for five consecutive weeks.[3] The song also charted at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 21 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
