Claudia Connell from News of the World wrote, "Like C'est La Vie, this follow-up ballad has a distinctly Irish flavour which lets the girls display their considerable vocal talents." She added, "Yes, this could even knock Cher off the top!"[2]
The accompanying music video for "To You I Belong" was directed by Katie Bell, who would later also direct the video for "I Shall Be There".[citation needed] Like the song itself, the video has a Christmas feel to it: it features a cold, icy forest and a large lake.
During performances, lead singer Edele Lynch wore finger cymbals which she would clap in time with the cymbals claps in the music. This became another one of B*Witched's signature performance moves, along with dancing an Irish reel for the bridge on "C'est la Vie", the human rollercoaster for "Rollercoaster" and the facial hand gesture for "Blame It on the Weatherman".
