China Crisis - Christian (Virgin)

In a week when everyone seems to be slowing down and strumming, CC really go for the ballad in a big way. Sublime Karn-esque bass floats, the acoustic gets plucked, the voice dreams away. Every one a tearjerker. Hardly 'A Single' but who cares. We can wallow. ET must have gone to everyone's heads. (Betty Page, Record Mirror, January 15, 1983)

The Liverpool lads - now, with the departure of drummer Dave Reilly, slimmed down to a duo - muff another stab at the charts by releasing an awkward, obscure song that should have been left on the album where it belongs. (Dave Rimmer, Smash Hits, January 20, 1983)
