 Reviewing Harrison 's musical career in a 2002 issue of Goldmine magazine , Dave Thompson wrote that the song " opened creative doors through which Harrison 's bandmates may not – and [ George ] Martin certainly would not – have ever dreamed of passing " . Rolling Stone contributor Greg Kot pairs " Love You To " with " Taxman " as two " major contributions " that saw Harrison " [ come ] into his own as a songwriter " on Revolver . Kot describes " Love You To " as " a boldly experimental track that Harrison records … as he makes the first full @-@ scale incorporation of Eastern instruments on a Beatles album " . Writing on his music website Elsewhere , Graham Reid views the track as a " classic " due to its standing as " arguably the first [ song ] in Western pop … which owes nothing to pop music traditions . It is an Indian song in its structure and execution . "
