James Masterton for Dotmusic opined that it "is if anything slightly more commercial than many of her previous hits, with a light, almost poppy sound." Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report commented that "it's often easy to compare one artist to another, but Enya has developed a truly distinctive style. Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as "an exhilarating uptempo pop waltz that will turn any car, den, or front stoop into an otherworldly tabernacle of sound." He complimented the singer for her "remarkable ability to inspire listeners is undiminished on this richly layered feast of melody-a throbbing secular hymn about life's search for fulfillment." A reviewer from Crawley News wrote that the song "sounds fabulous". Critical receptionĪllMusic editor Rick Anderson said that Enya "has a truly lovely voice", and "there's no point trying to resist the incantatory power" of "Anywhere Is". Dickins received a dedication on the album's sleeve in Gaelic.

Enya's melody for the song inspired Roma Ryan to write lyrics about, as Billboard magazine put it, "the search for the temporal heaven all cultures call 'home'", a subject that Enya felt was important as she only writes and rehearses her songs in Ireland. It was only its backing tracks that had been put down, but Dickins sensed the song had the makings of a hit single and encouraged them to complete it it was the final track of the new album to be worked on. But it was developed further after Rob Dickins, then chairman of Warner Music UK who had signed Enya, was invited to Ireland in August 1995 to listen to the album, roughly one year-and-a-half into the recording process. Initially it was a track that she and producer Nicky Ryan wanted to reject for the album The Memory of Trees. "Anywhere Is" is developed from a staccato line that Enya has described had a "march feel".
