Critical reception

Mike Wass of Idolator said "Little Bit of Love" is top-shelf Kesha. "You only wanna kiss me when I give you sad eyes, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone 'til the afterlife," she belts on the toe-tapping chorus.^[3] PopMatters said that the song "explores more acceptable lyrical territory ("You only wanna kiss me when I give you sad eyes" stands as a genuinely evocative moment), but bogs itself down with glaringly obvious Panic! at the Disco influence, between the smarmy and annoying Vaudevillian piano verses and its unearned booming-by-numbers chorus."^[4]
