"Big Jumps" is the second single by Emilíana Torrini released from her third album Me and Armini. It was released as a digital download only on October 13, 2008.[1] The song didn't chart.
The critical reception towards the song was warm; Popmatters reviewer Spencer Tricker called "Big Jumps" the "catchiest tune" on the album (alongside Jungle Drum), "every bit as good as the singles from Fisherman's Woman".[2] Andrew Leahey from allmusic wrote that the song features "strings of endearing doop-de-doop vocals and a commercial pop chorus"[3] and Matthew Allard from ARTISTdirect said it "up[s] the tempo in a sunny, radio-ready way".[4]
