As someone who finds great solace in the radio on that long and lonely drive back from clubland in the early hours, I feel that Tom's captured the mood perfectly in this poignant and not-a-little sad song. (Mark Steels, Smash Hits, November 10, 1983)
Uncle Tom has changed dramatically from a leader of men to a solitary soul. Here he takes a jazzy stroll through late night Berlin and has the chart sense to mention radios once he gets to the chorus. Funny that such a decadent city should succeed in reviving so many of our jaded stars. First Bowie, now Tom. Is Berlin a health spa? I think we should be told. (Mark Cooper, No 1, November 5, 1983)
