A remix also produced byDJ U-Neek entitled "Look into My Eyes (Atlantis Remix)" was released on the compilation albumThe Collection: Volume Two.
Chuck Eddy ofEntertainment Weekly wrote: "The staccato rap harmonies of these hugely popular Cleveland gangsta youngstas, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, resulted in startling gospel beauty on earlier hits. "Look Into My Eyes", the first commercial single from theBatman & Robin soundtrack, aims for a hypnotic darkness but ultimately feels tired and trite: spiritless voices dragging themselves through formless tempo shifts over a beatless background blur".[2]AllMusic critic gave the single 1.5 out of five stars.
