Critical reception
While its parent Time album was largely panned by music critics, "I Do" has been received positively by some publications. Ultimate Classic Rock singled out "I Do" as the one "great song" from Time and highlighted its "joy-filled chorus".[2] Joe Tiller of Dig! described the song as "an effortless and evocative soft-rock gem".[3] In his book Fleetwood Mac: The Complete Illustrated History, Richie Unterberger thought that "I Do" was the album's "clear winner" with its "buoyant piano-clear pop".[4]
GQ labeled "I Do" as one of the ten best post-Rumours songs, writing that the song "sounds like something from the Mirage era; it certainly doesn't sound like a pop song produced in the 1990s. It's all jangly keys, shimmery guitars and soaring backing vocals. It's also, fittingly, one of the more positive song on this list, a vow to love someone in spite of their flaws."[5]
