Eyes On Me (Celine Dion Song) - Critical Reception

Critical Reception

Reception towards the song was favorable, with many critics highlighting that the song looks a lot like Shakira songs. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic wrote that "Celine tries to shimmy like Shakira on 'Eyes on Me'", while Sarah Rodman from The Boston Globe opined that "Eyes On Me colors a bit outside the lines with an irresistibly wiggly, Eastern-flavored groove. (Shakira will kick herself for not getting it first".) Ashante Infantry from Toronto Star called it an "urban pop bounce, where Celine is channelling her inner Shakira". Nick Levine from Digital Spy expressed that the song "finds Dion taking an ill-advised swerve towards Shakira territory in pursuit of that all-important comeback smash. As ever, the Canadian belter is on ripe old form, tearing into the hackneyed lyrics with real spirit."

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:

    To take pride in a library kills it. Then, its motive power shifts over to the critical if admiring visitor, and apologies are necessary and acceptable and the fat is in the fire.
    Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

    To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
