"So in Love with You" was the third and final UK single (two further singles being released in Germany) to be taken from Scottish band Texas' third studio album, Ricks Road (1993). The song is written by band members Johnny McElhone and Sharleen Spiteri, and produced by Paul Fox. Released in January 1994 by Phonogram Records, it became the biggest hit single from the album, peaking at number 28 on the UK Singles Chart in February.
Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song three out of five, writing, "A crisp, mature and likeable single from the band who promise much but rarely attain big sales outside their Scottish homeland. As the more accessible 'So Called Friend' and 'You Owe It All to Me' peaked at numbers 30 and 39 respectively, it's unlikely that this will fare any better, despite the presence of live versions of both of these numbers."[1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Sharleen Spiteri spits out another dynamic love song by the standards once set by her fellow countryman Scott Walker. The soft and hard components are beautifully linked by strings."[2]
