It was released in the US in September 1972[5] and also appeared on their US debut album The Sweet and became their biggest hit in the US, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.[6] Billboard ranked it as the No. 18 song for 1973. In a retrospective review of glitter rock, Bomp! noted that although rock music journalists almost uniformly "loathed it", the song was a huge commercial success and "helped launch the essential glitter rock formula sound".[7] "Little Willy" was used extensively in the pilot of the television series Life on Mars.
