Bryan Buss from AllMusic described the song as "a  pretty ballad that showcases her songwriting skills, her clear voice, and her talent on the piano." A reviewer from "People Magazine" stated that Gibson "fares well with torchy ballads" such as "Lost in Your Eyes". Betty Page from "Record Mirror" wrote, "Golden larynxed Debs hits ut with the big moodsome ballad, proving that she's shaping up to be the Barry Manilow of the Nineties. She's obviously trying to shed the popcorn and candyfloss image already, but she's a bit too Minnie Mouse to carry off the sweeping epic just yet. Still, we all had a bit of  a weep over the tinkly piano." Re-recordings. In 2006, Gibson rearranged the song with Tim and Ryan O'Neill for the O'Neill Brothers album "Someone You Love". In 2010, Gibson re-recorded the song in both English and Japanese as extra tracks for the Japan-exclusive album "Ms. Vocalist". in 2018, Gibson re-recorded the song as "Lost in Your Eyes (Dream Wedding Mix)" for the Hallmark Channel original film "Wedding of Dreams". A duet version with Joey McIntyre is featured in Gibson's 2021 album "The Body Remembers". This version was first performed live during New Kids on the  Block's Mixtape Tour in 2019.
