"When You Tell Me That You Love Me" was released as the lead single on August 20, 1991, from Diana Ross's 1991 album, The Force Behind the Power released on the Motown label in the United States and by EMI Records in the United Kingdom. The song, a sentimental ballad, was the album's biggest hit, peaking at number 37 on the US Billboard R&B singles chart and number two on the UK Singles Chart. Ross considers it one of her signature songs.[1] The UK release included her 1985 hit "Chain Reaction". Critical reception[edit]Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as "a dramatically produced power ballad. Gratefully, track is less trend-conscious than Ross's more recent efforts, though this is far from her strongest work. Regardless, diehard fans will love it—as will AC radio programmers."[2] Alex Henderson and Bryan Devaney from Cashbox called it a "highly commercial pop ballad" and a "slick single".[3] In their album review, the magazine deemed it a "potential hit" and a "dramatic ballad".[4] A reviewer from Liverpool Echo wrote, "And while Diana Ross's voice couldn't be more different, this track does have some of that radio-friendly style." The reviewer added, "It starts like a sophisticated ballad, with quiet piano and voice. and builds into an emotional climax, complete with a bit of rock guitar. It's perfectly produced and perfectly predictable."[5] Newcastle Evening Chronicle noted that the singer is "in romantic mood" on the song.[6] Music video[edit]The single's music video featured scenes of Ross in an evening gown singing on stage intercut with home video footage of Ross with her two sons Ross & Evan.[7] Track listings[edit]
