"Kinda Kute" is a song by British singer-songwriter and musician Joe Jackson, which was released in 1980 as the third and final single from his second studio album I'm the Man (1979).

"[5] On its release, Mike Gardner of Record Mirror considered "Kinda Kute" a "jolly rolling tune" but felt it "hasn't the edge to do more than creep into the lower reaches of the charts".

[6] David Hepworth of Smash Hits wrote, "It's good enough, jolly enough and assuredly catchy enough, but Jackson can make much slyer, more affecting records when he wants to, and without sacrificing any of the commercial appeal.

"[7] Robbi Millar of Sounds praised Jackson as "one of Britain's better songwriters", but felt "Kinda Kute" was "totally forgettable" and a "twee cut from a mediocre album".

[9] In a review of I'm the Man, Sal Caputo of the Courier News felt the song "sounds like a reworking" of Graham Parker's "Silly Thing".
