Critical reception

Gil Kaufman from Billboard described "Love Again" as a moving ballad and a gentle piano and acoustic guitar track in which Dion softly sings emotional lyrics: "Cuz you don't have to move a mountain, just keep moving/ Every move is a new emotion/ And you don't have to find the answers, just keep trying/ The sun will rise again/ The storms subside again/ This is not the end/ And you will love again."[5] Nardine Saad from Los Angeles Times called it a sweet piano ballad about overcoming the grief of losing a loved one.[6]

Music video

The lyric video with scenes from the movie was released on YouTube on 13 April 2023.[7][8]
