Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Billboard said that "Sharp dance tracks provide the pulse" and that Idol uses a "low-key melodic vocal" comparable to his vocal performance in "Eyes Without a Face."[4]
In a review of the 1988 UK single re-release, Kevin Rowland of Record Mirror described "Catch My Fall" as a "tough song with a good build" and also praised the "good production and playing".[5]
