Critical reception
editThe song received favorable reviews from music critics. AllMusic editor Alex Henderson felt that Charles & Eddie "shows a great deal of promise on smooth pop-soul offerings" like "Would I Lie to You?", remarking that they "show their appreciation of classic soul in a very pop-friendly way".[1] Larry Flick from Billboard magazine noted that the duo "is quickly picking up pop radio adds with this delightful twirl into retro-R&B territory. Rich lead vocals are supported by Motown-styled harmonies, rumbling Hammond organ fills, and an insinuating, live drum beat."[2] Another Billboard editor complimented it as "outstanding".[5] Randy Clark from Cash Box stated that "the two still manage to create a modern sound through production techniques and danceable beats".[6] Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger described it as "an irresistibly sweet record", adding, "It's dreaminess all the way down: if anyone’s going to end up hurt it'll be them, but that's an unimaginable outcome as long as the record's playing."[7] Rufer & Fell from the Gavin Report commented, "What a hip single! Charles Pettigrew and Eddie Chacon incorporate a soulful sound reminiscent of R&B from years gone by, ala Sam and Dave etc. You only need one listen and we guarantee you'll push PLAY again. Would we lie to you!?"[8]
Connie Johnson from Los Angeles Times wrote that "Would I Lie to You?" "is not to be missed, as solid, sleek and comfy a soulmobile as you're likely to encounter."[9] In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton named it a soul ballad "in the classic mould".[10] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that "one of soul afficionados' [sic] wildest dreams: a duet between Smokey Robinson and the late Marvin Gaye. With this single it's more than just wishful thinking."[11] Neville Farmer from Music Week remarked that it "seemed like a one-off, a throw back to the classic soul style which stuck out like a sore thumb in the midst of the electronic techno filling the charts."[12] Terry Staunton from NME named it "perhaps one of the most accomplished and enjoyable mainstream pop singles of the year, finely-tuned soul crooning in the tradition of Sam & Dave or James & Bobby Purify."[13] A reviewer from People Magazine felt "it would be hard to get a better soul vibe and groove than the exquisite 'Would I Lie to You?'."[14] Adam Higginbotham from Select complimented it as "a fantastic single" and "so faultlessly polished and timeless".[15]
