"'Just a Step from Heaven'" is a song by British girl group Eternal, released as the third single from their debut album, 'Always & Forever' (1993). Released on 18 April, the single entered at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart on 24 April and climbed to its peak of number eight three weeks later. The single spent 11 weeks on the UK Singles Chart. It also reached the top 30 in Ireland and New Zealand and experienced minimal success in North America.

Critical reception



Jon O'Brien from AllMusic viewed the song as an example of "perfect R&B-infused pop". Larry Flick from 'Billboard' magazine wrote, "A glowing moment from the noteworthy "'Always & Forever'" album, this midtempo jam chugs along with rich harmonies, a diva-driven lead vocal, and an arrangement that pads a hip-hop foundation with sweet retro-soul nuances and a killer chorus. Juicy."
