"Every Beat of My Heart" is a song by English singer-songwriter Chris Rea released by Magnet on 7 May 1982 as the second and final single from his fourth studio album, Chris Rea.

Upon its release as a single, Denis Kilcommons of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner praised "Every Beat of My Heart" as a "beautiful ballad" which is "immacuately performed".

[2] The Mansfield & Sutton Recorder described it as an "extremely powerful ballad that should put Chris in the charts" and added, "Undoubtedly he is one of the best singer/songwriters we have in this country today.

"[3] The Runcorn Guardian called it a "taste of Rea at his best" and continued, "This Geordie singer/songwriter produces consistently high quality sounds, but hitherto, has only received vicarious success for his work.

"[4] Sunie of Record Mirror was negative in her review, noting that Rea "husk[s] away on an Adult Orientated (i.e. Boring) ballad, and highly soporific it is too".
