After all the agonising over producers and songwriters - CBS reputedly wanted Alison Moyet to pursue an MOR direction - the girl with the Empire State voice sensibly plumps for her own pure composition. On "Love Resurrection" Alf gives it loads but the Swain and Jollified electronic wash which accompanies is not entirely suitable and leaves you feeling that here is a catchphrase in search of a song. Tender but disposable. (Max Bell, No 1, June 16, 1984)
I give loads of credit to what Yazoo did. The whole idea of crossing a soul feeling with the nouveau metallic beat. But I was never a great fan of Alf's voice. This isn't a very good song. It's flat. Lacks charm. It sounds as if it would be more at home on Radio 2. (John Taylor [Duran Duran], Smash Hits, June 21, 1984)
