Background and release

The music video for the song, directed by Greg Masuak, was also used in edited versions for the "Je sais pas" and "Call the Man" singles (neither was released as a single in Australia). The "Next Plane Out" music video used the album version of the song, which lasts almost five minutes.

The single reached number 61 on the Australian ARIA singles chart,[3] and spent 7 weeks in the top 100.[4]

Critical reception

Pip Ellwood-Hughes from Entertainment Focus called the song "gorgeous", adding that it "is a vocal masterclass that makes you realise just what an incredible singer Dion is."[5] Christopher Smith from TalkAboutPopMusic described "Next Plane Out" as a ballad "which takes some time to ‘get off the ground’".[6]
