Critical reception

edit

Allmusic described the song as a "future American Idol standard...devoid of craftsmanship", adding it "positively radiate[s] Hollywood gloss — it's simply indicative of pop culture's voracious appetite for audio fast food".[2] Commonsensemedia noted that Brother Bear songs like Look Through My Eyes "could prop the soundtrack of any number of movies about a young boy's self-discovery" due to not specifically evoking Inuit culture.[3]
