Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox song "Baby, I Love Your Way" is a song written and performed by English singer Peter Frampton, released as a single in September 1975. It first featured on Frampton's 1975 album, Frampton, where it segues from the previous track "Nassau".

A live version of the song was later released on his 1976 multi-platinum album Frampton Comes Alive!, where it gained popularity as a hit song, peaking at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also reached number three in Canada.

Billboard described the live version as an "easy rocker" and said that the portion of the song where Frampton sings the title lyrics made "an effective hook." Cash Box called it "an excellent tune" explaining that "primarily, this is an acoustic tune, and Frampton sings with sensitivity over the soft backing." Record World said that although the studio single released the prior year didn't sell well, "this single is...headed for the top."

In 2017, Frampton discussed this song while talking to lawmakers in Washington, D.C. about inequitable revenue payments from streaming music services like iTunes and Spotify. "For 55 million streams of 'Baby I Love Your Way', I got $1,700," said Frampton. "Their jaws dropped and they asked me to repeat that for them."

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it an "earthy rendition" that is "right in the pocket of current trends." Dr. Bayyan from Cash Box wrote, "This song deals with the beauty of the subject that the group is focusing on. The lyrics are very intense and spiritual and are enhanced by the raw string and wind instruments which captivate the imagination." Fell and Rufer from the Gavin Report noted that this cover "has teeth" and "could be big." Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Another '70s pop classic has come out of the reggae grinder to enjoy its second youth in the '90s. Peter Frampton wrote it, not knowing that one day it would appear in the Reality Bites film." Alan Jones from Music Week gave it four out of five, adding that "this is a lightweight reggae cover", and it "is definitely in a summery mood."

Music video

The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Matti Leshem and premiered in April 1994.
