In a 2013 interview with The Boombox, R. Kelly was asked about the creative process backside the song: "When I met Michael Jordan on a basketball game court at an athletic club — we hooped together in Chicago — he came to me and asked me if I wanted to do a song for his upcoming flick," Kelly said. "I was similar, 'Aye!' I didn't even ask what it was. [Eventually] he let me know what it was, we went to a screening to watch it and that's when I ended up coming up with 'I Believe I Can Fly'. I knew from the first melody that was gonna exist the song that was gonna have me out of R&B and into another genre of music."[2]

A writer for Associated Press described the vocal as "majestic" and "gospel-styled", noting that "hearing R. Kelly'due south booming voice reach a crescendo while backed up by a choir is a rousing performance that will get many replays".[3] Larry Picture show from Billboard wrote that it is "highly inspirational" and "embodying the mind-set of the two superstars [Michael Jordan and R. Kelly]". He added, ""If I can dream it, I tin can accomplish information technology."

He added that the singer "calls on strings and a choir and every bit of strength available in his lungs and vocal chords to ascension above the wide struggle described in the lyrics."[6]

It's taken from the motion-picture show Space Jam and if you bought Toni Braxton's concluding unmarried and liked The Babysitter then y'all will purchase this for sure. I believe it will fly to the top of the charts though it makes me sore to say it."[12] James L. Brown from USC Today deemed information technology a "long slow ballad".[13]
