"Wonderful Shadow" is a song by British singer-songwriter Tanita Tikaram, which was released in 1995 as the second single from her fifth studio album Lovers in the City.

"[3] Music Week considered it a "brooding track" which is "accompanie[d] [by] a subtle dance beat" but added that it "somehow lacks the dynamism to make it a hit single".

[4] In a review of Lovers in the City, Paul Robicheau of The Boston Globe noted the song was "set to a lazy dance beat".

He also commented on the contrast between "I Might Be Crying" and "Wonderful Shadow", as they "explore both sides of romance".

[6] Oliver P. Sweeney of Hot Press noted the song's "shuffly percussion".
