I believe the answer is:

much less

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'and certainly not' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'greatly reduced' is the wordplay.
'greatly' becomes 'much' (I've seen this in another clue).
'reduced' becomes 'less' (a reduced amount).
'much'+'less'='MUCH LESS'

Can you help me to learn more?
