Reception
Little Big Shots received mixed reviews. Viewers said that the show "lifted the spirit" and "[was a] ray of sunshine". Tim Dowling from The Guardian said "Little Big Shots appears to be the kind of cheap and cheerful fare designed to be broken into viral chunks and slapped up on YouTube afterwards: heartwarming moments from a sickly-sweet box of delights."
