A Little Bit Longer received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic,the album received an above average score of 66 out of 100. In a 4-star review written by Rolling Stone editor Jody Rosen he stated,"The boys fantastic third album is steeped in the fuzzed-up guitars,three-part harmonies and cotton-candy choruses of Big Star and Cheap Trick. Power-pop die-hards awaiting the genre's commercial saviors must reckon with the fact that the messiahs have arrived". Natalie Nichols of the Los Angeles Times wrote,"The third album from the alpha boy band of the moment is certainly of the moment. Jersey-born Jonas siblings Nick (15),Kevin (20),and Joe (18) hit all the right pop notes with such numbers as the romping come-on 'Got Me Going Crazy',the slightly funky 'Burnin' Up' (a very pale imitation of Prince) and the emo-lite of brokenhearted ballad 'Can't Have You'". In a mixed review from the Toronto Star ,Ben Rayner when speaking about the albums demographic wrote,"Young hearts will melt,elder stomachs will churn",and "[A Little Bit Longer] has one uncritical audience in particular in mind and it serves it as well as can be expected".
