Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "James Horner and Will Jennings, the writing team behind Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", try to make a little more cinematic pop magic with the theme to "The Mask Of Zorro". Will it meet with similarly manic consumer response? Probably not. But it's a fine showcase for the lovely voices of Anthony and Arena (the latter is practically channeling Dion in her performance). The song has a grand Spanish flavor that suits the tone of the film. Expect AC programmers to jump on this one, while top 40 tastemakers hang back and wait to see how the movie does at the box office."[1]
