Chart performance

In March 1988, the song reached number 77 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 1 on the R&B chart, "You Will Know" also peaked at number 16 on the Adult Contemporary charts.

Critical reception

Karen Swayne from Number One wrote, "This isn't one of the best tracks, but there's a warmth and humanity to it that means all but the hardest hearted will forgive him (for) crooning trite platitudes like 'problems have solutions/trust and I will show.' Some people might even believe him. And why not."
