Billboard Magazine declared that "You're in My Heart" should become "Stewart's biggest easy listening hit" and felt the vocal style was similar to that of "The Killing of Georgie".[3]
The lyrics mention two of Stewart's favourite football teams in the phrase "Celtic, United".[4] The inner sleeve to the album Foot Loose & Fancy Free also pictures artwork with the names Glasgow Celtic and Manchester United drifting out of a car stereo.
