Reception edit
Nick van Lith from ESCXtra said "The power is still there, but in a completely different way. Instead of big vocals and impressive high notes, it's now the mystery and instrumentation that does the trick for the 31-year old singer. Her latest single is called 'Kiss You Anyway' and is exactly what the new Dami Im wants to show us. It's a modern and exciting effort, which still showcases her powerful voice, but doesn't draw attention away from the lyrics."[5]
Kyriakos Tsinivits from AussieVission said "The song is a very emotional piece about loving someone no matter what."[6]
