Critical reception

edit

In a review of her second album, Electric Youth, Bryan Buss of Allmusic said that the song is "a pretty ballad that showcases her [Gibson's] songwriting skills, her clear voice, and her talent on the piano."[12] Deborah Wilker of the Ocala Star-Banner said that it "sounds as if it were plucked from the score of a hit Broadway musical".[13] Mike Joyce of The Washington Post called "Lost in Your Eyes" a "dreamy musing".[14] Rich Stim of Spin magazine said that with "Lost in Your Eyes" "she[Gibson] rings the mass-market radio, sounding [...] like a hybrid of Karen Carpenter and Barbra Streisand", adding that "she's headed for some serious royalties".[15]

Chart performance

edit

"Lost in Your Eyes" was released in the United States in January 1989. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number forty-two,[16] reaching the top of the chart on March 4, 1989,[17] becoming her second number-one single in the U.S.[18] A week later her second album, Electric Youth, hit the top of the Billboard 200, while "Lost in Your Eyes" held the pole position of the Hot 100. At the time, this achievement made Gibson the youngest female singer ever to have a simultaneus number one single and album in the U.S.[19] "Lost in Your Eyes" stayed at the top position for three weeks and spent nineteen weeks on the chart, nine of which were in the top twenty.[17] In addition, it reached number three on the Adult Contemporary chart,[20] and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in March 1989.[21]

In the United Kingdom, "Lost in Your Eyes" did not performed as well as Gibson's previous releases. It debuted at number fifty-four on the UK Singles Chart in January 1989, peaking at number thirty-four, staying eight weeks on the chart.[22] It performed similarly throughout the rest of Europe, peaking at eighteen in Ireland,[23] twenty-three in Belgium,[24] and forty-five in the Netherlands.[25] In Australia, the single debuted on the ARIA Charts in March 1989, peaking at number seven in May,[26] becoming Gibson's highest charting single in the country.[27]
