Release and reception



"With the Eyes of a Child" was written by songwriting duo Guy Fletcher and Doug Flett, who had previously written "Wonderful World" and "What's More (I Don't Need Her)" for Richard and who would go on to write numerous more for him, such as "Sing a Song of Freedom" and "Power to All Our Friends". It was produced by Peter Vince, credited on the record as 'An NP [Norrie Paramor] production by Peter Vince'. It was released with the B-side "So Long", written by Chris Arnold, David Martin and Geoff Morrow.

Reviewing for 'New Musical Express', Derek Johnson described "With the Eyes of a Child" as "an enchanting ballad with a philosophic lyric pleading for universal brotherhood. And while it isn't strictly a Christmas disc, its release is in keeping with the season of goodwill".
