Critical reception

British magazine Music Week gave "I Will Come to You" a full score of five out of five and named it Single of the Week, writing, "With its extremely catchy singalong chorus and big, dramatic build, this has huge Christmas hit written ail over it and could well upsel the bookies' predictions by going all the way to the top."

Music video

The accompanying music video for "I Will Come to You" was filmed in London and directed by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson of the experimental group Coil. In the video Isaac, Taylor and Zac are performing in a forest. They look like angels in the city streets. Christopherson claimed that the Hanson brothers' original vision for the video was darker than the final product.
There was also another video filmed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City; this version was directed by Jeb Brien.
