Classic Rock History ranked the track first in a 2002 list covering Groban’s ten best songs. The publication characterized it as an emotional piece concerning the death of someone dear and the idea that the person is in Heaven.

It also described the arrangement as sentimental and melodic and said Groban made the sadness sound uplifting.

His television credits noted by the source are “Live with Regis and Kelly,” spanning 2011 through 2014, and 2014’s “Rising Star.” At the source’s time of writing, he was preparing to appear on Broadway at New York City’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in a stage production titled “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”
