James Poletti from Dotmusic gave the song a mixed review ; he praised the song 's production by saying it was one of Timbaland 's finest productions but he felt that the song was a lesser song compared to Aaliyah 's previously released singles . Overall he felt that the song did justice to Aaliyah 's legacy and that " It reminds us that Aaliyah was a truly contemporary soul performer and will be sorely missed " . In a review of Aaliyah 's eponymous album Luke McManus from the Irish publication RTE compared " More Than a Woman " to the work of French electronic music duo Daft Punk and praised her voice on the song as well . When reviewing her eponymous album British publication NME described " More Than a Woman " as being " grandiose " . Brad Cawn from the Chicago Tribune felt that Aaliyah had matured content wise and he described the song as being a " Mid-tempo come-on " . Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine felt that the song would make the perfect theme song for a cartoon . Cinquemani stated , " If the beyond-burgeoning actress was ever approached to play a cartoon superhero , the synth-heavy “ More Than a Woman , ” with its millenium-ready empowerment and sensitive vocals , would make the perfect theme song for the fictional vixen ( “ You go , I go / ’Cause we share pillows ” ) " . Joshua Clover from Spin praised the song saying , " More Than A Woman is n't the Bee Gees song but pushes the jumpy tune until , finally , it meets you in the doorway ( or is that the dance floor or the bed room ? ) " . Quentin B. Huff from PopMatters praised the production of the song saying , " The production bumps and jerks , contrasting a smooth groove with the spikes and dips of its loops and cadences " . He also felt that " Aaliyah manages to croon over this mechanical bull of a beat , and the lyrics are appropriately terse and frugal , as if she only needs a few key phrases to remind her significant other that she is in fact " more than enough for you . " In 2002 the video for " More Than a Woman " was voted by the British public as " Best Video " and received an award at the 7th annual UK MOBO Awards . In 2003 the song was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards . The song was featured on Rolling Stone 's Ten Best Apocalyptic Dance Music Videos list
