pop-rock classic." Tim Gebhart of the Rapid City Journal was more positive: "Larson['s] version remains true to the original but also contains her own special touch in the vocals." Despite becoming Larson's fourth single to rank on the Hot 100 chart in Billboard magazine – and her first Hot 100 entry since 1980 – "I Only Want to Be with You" would prove a Top 40 shortfall, stalling at #53 in September 1983. Larson's label WB Records, electing not to issue a second single from All Dressed Up and No Place to Go, were motivated by the underperformance of that album and its one single to end Larson's label tenure.
