It perfectly suits Steven Tyler's sleazy vocals as the track moves towards its strings-soaked conclusion." Daily Record called it an "epic ballad which has Steve Tyler impersonating of Bryan Adams".

It's a recipe that will prove irresistible to programmers at top 40 and AC formats." Birmingham Evening Mail commented, "Songwriter Diane Warren weaves her magic again with a bombastic power ballad from the 'Armageddon' movie soundtrack.
It's a high-voltage performance that is matched by a collision of rock-styled instrumentation and grand, faux-classical orchestration. Steven Tyler's signature belting is so intensely over the top that he frequently seems to be shrieking. This tune from the imminent soundtrack to " Armageddon" shows the enduring rock troupe happily giving in to the romance of superstar tunesmith Diane Warren's sweet tune-but with an appropriate dash of guitar-juiced melodrama. Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "If you're among the many who adore Aerosmith when it indulges in power balladry à la " Angel", then you're in for a real treat. The song received generally positive reviews from critics. It was difficult to imagine what kind of touch Aerosmith could put on it and make it our own… As soon as we began playing it as a band, then it instantly became an Aerosmith song." Critical reception "When I first heard it," recalled drummer Joey Kramer, "it was just a demo with piano and singing. Brolin said he missed Streisand when they were asleep, and Warren wrote down the words "I don't want to miss a thing", before there was even a song. In 1997, Diane Warren was watching Barbara Walters interview James Brolin and Barbra Streisand. In early 1999, his version was a top-twenty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 while also topping the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.
The song was covered by American country music singer Mark Chesnutt for his album of the same name. In the United Kingdom, it sold over one million copies and reached number four on the UK Singles Chart. The song also peaked at number one for multiple weeks in several other countries, including Australia, Ireland, and Norway. It subsequently debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the band their first and only number-one single in their home country. In the United States, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" was originally supposed to a radio-only single from Armageddon: The Album, but due to popular demand, Columbia Records issued the song commercially in August 1998. The power ballad was written by Diane Warren, who originally envisioned it would be performed by " Celine Dion or somebody like that". It is one of four songs performed by the band for the film, the other three being " What Kind of Love Are You On", " Come Together", and " Sweet Emotion". " I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" is a song performed by American hard rock band Aerosmith for the 1998 natural disaster film Armageddon, in which lead singer Steven Tyler's daughter Liv Tyler starred.
