Like the two previous singles from Hometime, the single failed to enter the UK Top 100, but did enter the Top 200, peaking at #127.[3]

Unlike the two previous singles, a promotional video was filmed for the single.[4]

The single's two B-Sides are "If You Don't Come Back To Me (Live)" and "Should I Feel That It's Over (Live)", which were both songs from Hometime, recorded live in October 2002.[5] The B-Sides were exclusive to the single.

Critical reception edit

In a review of Hometime, Andy Stevens of the Press & Sun-Bulletin commented: "...still, Hometime is not devoid of sexiness, nor sass. Track 3 for example ("More") gives us a longing Moyet, smokily growling over lost love opportunities."[6] Reviewing the 2016 deluxe edition of the album, Paul Scott-Bates of Louder Than War said the song was "perhaps the album highlight". He stated: "...like it or not, Alison gave one of her most sensual moments in a track that oozes lust and sexuality. With a performance nothing short of perfect, it remains stunning to this day."[7]
