AllMusic [3]
John Bush of AllMusic rated the album four stars out of five, and stated that the album is both a `studied` and `more mature, calculated album` than its predecessor Life Thru a Lens (1997) `from a pop star who`s often gloried in being immature and spontaneous.`[4] He noted the album `may suffer from comparisons to its excellent predecessor, but it also finds Robbie Williams weathering the sophomore storm quite well.`[4] NME rated the album 8/10, saying `boy, what a record` and that Williams` `writing skills have improved enormously`.[5] The reviewer also noted the album`s `impressive diversity` and concluded that `sure, Robbie`s still more Michael Barrymore than Michael Stipe, and he`ll never be `cool` by that constipated, soul-crushingly snobbish James Lavelle definition. But he`s a natural-born star and he wants you to love him. I`ve Been Expecting You provides 12 good reasons why you should.`[5]

Success
Williams and Chambers started the writing process of the album in Jamaica in the spring of 1998. I`ve Been Expecting You was released in October 1998. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, and went on to become the UK`s best selling album for that year. According to the Music Week, the album has sold 2,582,016 copies in the UK as of November 2016,[6] and has been certified 10× Platinum for shipments of 3 million copies, making it Williams` best-selling album in the country.

The album also received attention outside the United Kingdom, particularly in continental Europe and Latin America, and has sold a total of five million copies worldwide.[7] Williams finished album promotion with an extensive European tour in the autumn of 1999. I`ve Been Expecting You was ranked 91st in a 2005 survey held by British television`s Channel 4 to determine the 100 greatest albums of all time
