Following its entry in the UK charts at number five James Masterton wrote in his weekly chart commentary at www.dotmusic.com the following:

"Believe it or not it is now eight years since Jay Kay first burst into the charts with his eclectic selection of headgear and a funky commercial take on the acid jazz sound that had remained steadfastly underground despite many attempts to take it mainstream. Clearly he is in no mood to slow down as this brand new single from a new album confirms. Technically of course this is his second chart appearance of the year following his collaboration with Jools Holland on the Big Band remake of I'm In The Mood For Love which made No.29 back in February. The last Jamiroquai single proper was King For A Day which made No.20 in December 1999 and Little L now becomes his 8th Top Ten hit since 1993 and the fourth to go Top 5. The single is rumoured to be about the breakup of his relationship with TV and stage star Denise Van Outen (herself a hitmaker thanks to her Christmas 1999 remake of Especially For You) and it may even suggest a breaking of some new musical boundaries (are those really Philly horns in the mix?) Still who cares, it still sounds fantastic."

In the offical Top 200 singles chart for 2002, Little L was placed at number 97 with sales of 126,910 copies.
