Reception
The song remains Babybird's biggest hit and the track that the band are best known for. On their album review of Ugly Beautiful, Allmusic (who gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5), praised "You're Gorgeous" because it "positively radiates with twisted sexuality." The song was featured on Volume 35 of the UK's Now That's What I Call Music compilation album series in November 1996.
The song was also used in an Australian advertisement for Nurofen for Children.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“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)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
