The song was written by Freeman and Joseph Hughes, both of whom made up The Lover Speaks, and was produced by Jimmy Iovine, Freeman and Hughes. During recording sessions of Raindancing, The Lover Speaks contributed three songs to the project, although only "Sleep Like Breathing" was included on the album.[2] Upon release, "Sleep Like Breathing" peaked at No. 80 and remained in the Top 100 for three weeks.[3] A promotional video was filmed to promote the single, which also featured Freeman.[4] ReleaseThe single was released by CBS on 7" and 12" vinyl in the UK and Europe.[5] The B-Side "Love Resurrection (Live)" was exclusive to the single.[6] On the European 12" vinyl release, two additional live songs were included: "Ne Me Quitte Pas" and "Don't Burn Down the Bridge".[7] In the UK, the 12" single featured only "Ne Me Quitte Pas" alongside "Love Resurrection" as the B-Sides.[8] A limited edition 12" version was also issued in the UK, replacing "Ne Me Quitte Pas" with "Don't Burn Down the Bridge". The three live tracks were recorded at Wembley Arena on 13 May 1987.[8][9] Critical receptionPraising Moyet's "interpretive gifts" and Iovine's "understated production" on Raindancing, American magazine Musician described "Sleep Like Breathing" as being a track that has "such lasting allure".[10] Jonathan Butler of People described the song as one of only two songs on Raindancing to "exhibit the haunting quality she [Moyet] is capable of". Butler described both "Sleep Like Breathing" and "Blow Wind Blow" as being "reminiscent of more cerebral, Kate Bush-like material."[11] J. D. Considine of The Baltimore Sun said of the album: "...as such, there's nothing here as immediately winning as "Invisible" was, but plenty that sinks in after a few serious spins. "Sleep Like Breathing," for instance, allows Moyet to exploit her dramatic range to its fullest."[12] Steve Hochman of Los Angeles Times said: "Moyet's voice needs - deserves - arrangements that either match its big, glorious and soaring quality, or offset it with spacious, atmospheric backing. While her second solo effort contains three gorgeous examples of the latter (including "Sleep Like Breathing"), it has none of the former."[13] Music & Media described the song as a "hypnotic and atmospheric ballad".[14] In the Digital Audio and Compact Disc Review, a review of the album commented "...but there's just no hope for such dull, lethargic ballads as "Blow Wind Blow" and "Sleep Like Breathing"."[15] The Trouser Press Record Guide singled-out the song as the album's "low point", describing it as "stiflingly schmaltzy".[16] In a retrospective review of Raindancing, Paul Scott-Bates of the music website Louder Than War commented that the song's release as a single was "almost criminally ignored".[17] Loz Etheridge of the webzine God Is in the TV described the song as a "tragically overlooked duet" and a "standout" on Raindancing.[18] Adrian Janes of Penny Black Music said the song "plumbs the emotional depths".[19] Formats
