Critical reception
Mark Frith from Smash Hits gave "Someone to Love" four out of five, writing, "First thing to say, he has a good little voice, our Sean. Second thing to say, he has a bit of a good tune too — not ground-breaking by any means, but a solid, good pop song that will surprise a lot of people. And if he's willing to take a few risks with his next few singles, his future could be very bright indeed."{{cite magazine|first=Mark|last=Frith|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/57779449@N02/53988645532/in/album-72177720320283974|title=New Singles|work=Smash Hits|date=3 August 1994|page=53|access-date=7 October 2024|author-link=Mark Frith}}
