Author Ian Inglis describes the song's melody as "romantic". Referring to its status as the last track on "Living in the Material World", he also comments on the appropriateness of Harrison's opening words: ""That is all I want to say"". Inglis writes that Harrison goes on to state both " he wants to do for his lover" and "what he hopes for in return", in the respective lines ""To try to love you more"" and ""A smile when I feel blue"".
