Too Blind to See It (Kym Sims song)

Billboard stated in their review that producer/songwriter Steve "Silk" Hurley "once again reaffirms his position as Chicago's finest on this wriggling, R&B-inflected houser", noting that newcomer Sims "exudes the confidence and range of a seasoned pro, while remixer Maurice Joshua drops another of his deep underground workouts."[3] Chris Heim from Chicago Tribune deemed it "a slick, upbeat little dance tune".[4] Pop Rescue called the song "infectious", adding that "laden with those catchy italia-house pianos, and fast beats, her vocals cut through them perfectly as she sings about a love lost."[5]
