Big World Small World is the second studio album by Smith & Mighty, released on Studio !K7 in 2000.

Critical reception

Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying, "It's just a little disappointing that S&M couldn't bring any innovations to the table here, as they have in the far too distant past."[2] Bill Werde of CMJ New Music Monthly said, "It might not make the next easily marketable friendly face of urban music, but it makes for a damn fine album."[5]

Joshua Klein of The A.V. Club said, "A seamless mix of trip-hop, reggae, dub, rap, R&B, and funk, Smith & Mighty's second album may be the most enjoyable chill-out album since Massive Attack's opening salvo."[3] M. Tye Comer of CMJ New Music Report called it "the most socially conscious and, arguably, most poignant album of the trip-hop era."[1] Michael Paoletta of Billboard said, "Smith & Mighty have crafted a sound that can be best described as mood music."[4]
