"when she loved me" is considered to be one of the saddest moments in the history of pixar's films. hellogiggles contributor stephanie ashe included "when she loved me" among "the most emotional moments" from the "toy story" franchise. "digital spy" ranked the song the 10th most heartbreaking pixar moment. in a retrospective review for "the irish times", bradshaw dubbed the song "the single most devastatingly sad moment in any kids' film". including it among 10 "film soundtrack moments that'll have you crying in your popcorn", bbc online called the ballad "the most heartbreaking story in the world" while writing that mclachlan performance "left a generation of children looking to their parents and asking: "mummy, why are you sad?" in 2015, "paste" ranked "when she loved me" the 27th "saddest songs of all time", with contributor bonnie stiernberg writing, "everyone always talks about how "toy story 3" destroyed them emotionally ... but the "toy story" scene that consistently breaks me up is the one from "toy story 2" when sarah mclachlan sings this randy newman song about a toy getting abandoned by her owner as she grows up." "huffpost" credits the song with establishing "the foundation for the emotionally tough territory that pixar would continue to mine in its subsequent efforts." sky tv wrote that "when she loved me" "tugs heart-strings on a level not reached again until" pixar's "up" (2009). in review of "toy story 3" (2010), matt goldberg of collider felt that the sequel was slightly inferior to "toy story 2" due to lacking "a moment of melancholy" like "when she loved me".
