If You Only Let Me In

In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton wrote, "Their second hit single is if anything even better than the first, more of a proper pop song and an instant radio smash. It crashes in one place higher than its predecessor and certainly deserves to at least match its peak."^[1] Music & Media commented, "If you witnessed them on Janet Jackson's tour, you must have heard their Staxmoulded second single with a sample or copy of Steve Cropper's guitar out of 'In the Midnight Hour'."^[3]

Gill Whyte from Smash Hits gave it a top score of five out of five and named it Best New Single. She added, "On first hearing this you think, well, this isn't as menacingly naughty as 'I've Got a Little Something for You', but then hold on, vicar! What's this about letting me in and giving everything? They ARE being naughty! I tell you, these boys must bathe daily in a vat of testosterone 'cos they just ooze sexiness, and as for those armadillos stuffed down their low-slung trousers... oops, sorry, got carried away there! What I meant to say was this is another classic soulful, pop number from the fruity fellas, and catchier than the number 12 bus. Grrr8. (Grrroan.)"^[2]
