The video was shot by award-winning director Andrew MacNaughtan in July 2004 and premiered two months later.

In October 2004 it was announced that Céline is The New Voice Of Air Canada and "You and I" is the theme of Air Canada's New Ad Campaign, at the time the airline unveiled new in-flight service products and new aircraft livery. Céline also recorded a 1-minute long version of this single in French called "Mes Ailes à Moi." Both versions were used in Air Canada's commercials.

Chuck Taylor from Billboard magazine wrote about the song: "The plucky "You and I" is an ideal vehicle to launch a full-scale seasonal assault on the airwaves, with its love-my-man thematics and kinetic, summer-breeze tempo, akin to her signature "That's the Way It Is." Dion dispenses a joyful romp from the mic, sounding fresh and fully at ease, and she riffs just enough to stamp the song with a telltale trademark or two."

The single topped the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart.
