This success on the dance chart prompted Arista Records to release The Remix Album in June 1998, which included two remixes of "I'm Leavin'." Eight years later, on 6 June 2006, Dance Vault Mixes with five of Hex Hector remixes were released digitally in the United States. In 2014, "I'm Leavin'" (Hex Hector N.Y.C. Rough Mix) was included on People Hold On ... The Remix Anthology and The Collection 1989–2003.[1][2] In June 1998, "I'm Leavin'" also promoted The Remix Album on Polish radio, reaching number three on the airplay chart.
The song received favorable reviews from music critics, who called it a melancholy ballad that "absolutely shines" as a dance track, and should have become a hit.[3]Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "intensely soulful, heartbreaking ballad" and noted further that Stansfield "offers her strongest, most commercially viable single" since "All Woman". He also stated that "lyrically, it stretches miles beyond standard love-gone-wrong fodder, and La Lisa delivers a vocal that is straight from the gut. Every syllable drips with raw, empathetic emotion. If you're not in the mood for a slow jam".[4] Natasha Stovall from Rolling Stone commented that Stansfield sounds "edgy – even harsh – when she's staring, eyes appropriately red-rimmed, at a broken affair" in the song.[5]
