I See Your Smile

"I See Your Smile" is a single by American singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan. It was released in February 1993 in Europe, the UK and the US as the third single worldwide, and second in America, from her first compilation album, Gloria Estefan Greatest Hits. In the US, the song was released instead of the "Miami Hit Mix / Megamix" medley, which was the second single released in most of the world outside America. The song performed well on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, peaking at number 3. It is a Latin-pop ballad about someone who cannot get over their lost love. The video co-starred movie actor Andy García as a waiter at a restaurant.

Critical reception

AllMusic editor Jason Birchmeier noted the song as "beautiful".[1] Maryann Scheufele from AXS wrote, "A love song favorite like a great car is remembered. From this 1992 song comes the idea that love and taking chances combine to bring success. Gloria closes her eyes to see the smile of the one she loves and sings about that light in her life. When Gloria sings "I love you" you know she had the support of love when she took a chance."[2]
