Critical reception

British Newcastle Evening Chronicle named "A Little Bit More" as one of the best songs of the Too Blind to See It album. [2] In an retrospective review, Pop Rescue felt it "reminds me a LOT of Dannii Minogue's 1991 track 'Baby Love'", adding, "but then, Steve 'Silk' Hurley was behind both tracks, so it’s of no real surprise." [3]
