Critical reception
American student newspaper Columbia Daily Spectator wrote that the song "sounds like ifs been ejected from a blender on high speed. The fashionably detached vocalist's singsong is more seductive than any gasping oh-baby could hope to be." A reviewer from Music Week stated that the "Italian diva" is back with a single, "in which a quirky intro moves into a funky chorus with a typically pedestrian vocal." In a retrospective review, Pop Rescue noted that "some acidy synths and a pumping beat usher" in the track, adding that Gala’s vocals here "continue their minimal wanderings."

In the United Kingdom, "Come into My Life" reached number 38 on the UK Singles Chart, number 12 on the UK Dance Singles Chart, and number two on the UK Indie Chart.
