Critical reception
The song garnered a positive response from Select magazine, whose review of the single in August 1998 stated;{{cite journal |title=Review: THEAUDIENCE – I Know Enough (I Don't Get Enough)/Harry, Don't Fetch The Water, eLLeFFe/Mercury |journal=Select |publisher=EMAP Metro |issue=August, 1998 |page=101}}
'I Know Enough...' is clearly theaudience's best single to date – no mean achievement. It stretches understated, poetic lustings over The Smiths and The Pretenders at their most lithesomely jangling. Like Catatonia, this is dignified mainstream guitar pop at its finest. Double A-side 'Harry, Don't Fetch The Water' is as splendidly obtuse as its title.
