Critical reception

The song received favorable reviews from music critics. AllMusic editor Alex Henderson felt that Charles & Eddie "shows a great deal of promise on smooth pop-soul offerings" like "Would I Lie to You?", remarking that they "show their appreciation of classic soul in a very pop-friendly way". ^[4] Larry Flick from Billboard noted that the duo "is quickly picking up pop radio adds with this delightful twirl into retro-R&B territory. Rich lead vocals are supported by Motown-styled harmonies, rumbling Hammond organ fills, and an insinuating, live drum beat." ^[5] Another editor complimented it as "outstanding". ^[6] Randy Clark from Cash Box stated that "the two still manage to create a modern sound through production techniques and danceable beats". ^[7] Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger described it as "an irresistibly sweet record", adding that "it's dreaminess all the way down: if anyone’s going to end up hurt it'll be them, but that's an unimaginable outcome as long as the record's playing." ^[8] Rufer & Fell from the Gavin Report commented, "What a hip single! Charles Pettigrew and Eddie Chacon incorporate a soulful sound reminiscent of R&B from years gone by, ala Sam and Dave etc. You only need one listen and we guarantee you'll push PLAY again. Would we lie to you!?" ^[9]

Connie Johnson from Los Angeles Times wrote that "Would I Lie to You?" "is not to be missed, as solid, sleek and comfy a soulmobile as you're likely to encounter." ^[10] In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton viewed it as a soul ballad "in the classic mould". ^[11] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that "one of soul afficionados' [sic] wildest dreams: a duet between Smokey Robinson and the late Marvin Gaye. With this single it's more than just wishful thinking." ^[12] Neville Farmer from Music Week remarked that it "seemed like a one-off, a throw back to the classic soul style which stuck out like a sore thumb in the midst of the electronic techno filling the charts." ^[13] Terry Staunton from NME named it "perhaps one of the most accomplished and enjoyable mainstream pop singles of the year, finely-tuned soul crooning in the tradition of Sam & Dave or James & Bobby Purify." ^[14] A reviewer from People Magazine felt that "it would be hard to get a better soul vibe and groove than the exquisite 'Would I Lie to You?'." ^[15] Pop Rescue stated that "there is nothing to dislike about this song – the music, lyrics, and the harmonised vocals are spot on." ^[16] Adam Higginbotham from Select declared it as "a fantastic single" and "so faultlessly polished and timeless". ^[17]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Would I Lie to You" sees Charles & Eddie performing the song at various locations in New York City. Occasionally, several different young women are seen walking around the city. Some scenes of the duo have a dark blue or sepia tone. And sometimes also features a fractured screen with two boxes, showing different images at the same time. As the video ends, Charles & Eddie continues to sing in the late hours as it gets dark outside. It received heavy rotation on MTV Europe ^[18] and was later published by Vevo on YouTube in 2009. It had generated more than 65 million views as of July 2023. ^[19]

Impact and legacy

NME ranked "Would I Lie to You?" number 23 in their list of "Singles of the Year" in December 1992. ^[20] Its songwriters, Mick Leeson and Peter Vale, received the 1992 Ivor Novello award in the category for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. ^[2]
