Critical reception

Pip Ellwood-Hughes of Entertainment Focus described the recording as "gorgeous" and characterised it as "a vocal masterclass that makes you realise just what an incredible singer Dion is".[1] Christopher Smith of TalkAboutPopMusic referred to "Next Plane Out" as a ballad "which takes some time to 'get off the ground'".[2]

Commercial performance

In Australia, "Next Plane Out" peaked at number 61 on the ARIA Singles Chart,[3] and remained within the top 100 for seven weeks.[4]

Music video

The accompanying music video was directed by Greg Masuak. Edited versions of the clip were subsequently repurposed for the singles "Je sais pas" and, later, "Call the Man" in 1997.
