Limahl - Only For Love (EMI)

Bearing Kajagoogoo's past efforts in mind, I honestly expected to loathe Limahl's debut solo single. And now that I've heard it I'm compelled to issue this warning - it's good! Simple, perfectly produced pop, you can really dance to this one and it's streets ahead of anything the Kajjers have brought out. Music and words by Limahl - he's not just a pretty face either. And with Carol Kenyon of Heaven 17 fame on backing vocals, need I say more? (Debbi Voller, No 1, October 29, 1983)

This makes "Big Apple" sound like an H2O reject. For all of Beggsie's talk of 'sophistication', Limahl has just kept his mouth shut and got on with the job in hand, producing a strong stylish debut. Just one thing, why's it called "Only For Love" when he persists in singing 'own letter fora leuuv'? (Peter Martin, Smash Hits, October 27, 1983)
