" Taking Chances " is a pop song that begins with acoustic guitar , then expands into a fuller pop/rock instrumentation . Celine 's vocals span from E3 to F ♯ 5 . The line , " So talk to me , like lovers do " came from the Eurythmics song " Here Comes the Rain Again . " In an interview with Dave Stewart , he explained why he recycled the lyric : " Yeah , because Taking Chances is the same , me writing with Kara DioGuardi and deciding to enter into something together . So ' I do n't know much about your life , do n't know much about your world , but I do n't want to be alone tonight on this planet they call Earth , right ? So what do you say of taking chances ? ' And it builds up and builds up and gets more determined , which is Kara 's personality , who 's been through a lot , and she goes , you know , ' I 've been beaten down ' and all this kind of stuff . And then it flips into , ' So talk to me , talk to me like lovers do . ' It 's like pulling itself out of that , getting the strength , and actually nodding and tipping my hat to one of my own songs within the song . " " Taking Chances " received critical acclaim . Bill Lamb of About.com wrote that " Dion 's vocals are commanding and powerful . " He also said : " The song opens the album and announces new directions in a truly exciting fashion , " though he was disappointed with most of the following songs on the album . Chuck Taylor of '' Billboard '' wrote about the song that " it is destined for AC 's top 10 . " Sarah Rodman from '' The Boston Globe '' wrote that " it builds from an acoustic strum into the kind of pleasant radio-ready crunch that Michelle Branch would recognize . " Tammy La Gorce of Amazon.com called it a " hopeful , heartfelt track , which unfolds into an anthemic power ballad midway through , may be the best one . " Nick Levine wrote a positive review for Digital Spy , describing the song : " It begins in surprisingly restrained fashion , with Dion crooning softly over a near-acoustic musical backdrop , but the soft rock bombast kicks in soon enough . The guitars surge tastefully ; the drums thump like they belong on a Phil Collins solo record and Dion plays the banshee to perfection . " About.com 's Bill Lamb listed as one of the Top 20 Pop Songs of 2007 . He went to say that " She moves into slightly more rocking territory in highly tasteful fashion . Some pop fans may take a second look at Celine after hearing this track . " The song was nominated for the category Single of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2009 . Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic highlighted this song . Edna Gundersen from '' USA Today '' wrote , " She dials back the bombast on the title track , a midtempo rocker . " Also Edna Gundersen from '' USA Today '' and Chris Willman of '' Entertainment Weekly '' have put this song on their " Download this " lists
