Critical reception
 Digital Spy's Nick Levine called the track a "slushy duet". [2]  Betty Page from  NME  wrote,"As for "If You Were Here with Me Now",well,I predict the world will be hearing an awful lot of this,probably around Christmas. It's a duet with 'mystery singer' Keith Washington,who sounds like Son Of Lionel but could be helping Kylie to be the Big American Hit. It's oozingly schmaltzy and is probably a brilliant career move." [3]  Writing Minogue's biography for her special on Australian music video programme  Rage ,they called the song one of the "richly beautiful ballads". [4]  In 2023,Robert Moran of Australian daily tabloid newspaper  The Sydney Morning Herald  ranked the song as Minogue's 178th best song (out of 183),adding that sounds like "a play for the Aladdin soundtrack".
