"With Every Beat of My Heart" was a US Top 5 Billboard Hot 100 hit, [1] reaching #5 in its ninth week in the Billboard issue dated December 16, 1989. It remained at its peak position for four weeks and spent 18 weeks on the chart, after debuting at #61. [2] [3] It also reached the top-ten on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. On the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1990, the single ranked at number 48.
David Giles from Music Week wrote, "Having made some of the best dance-pop singles of 1989, Dayne returns with a raunchier, more bluesy soul number which suggests that she is aiming at a Tina Turner-style profile. The song isn't immediate enough for massive success but its singer is evidently here to stay."[4]
