JoBoxers - Jealous Love/She's Got Sex (RCA)

"She's Got Sex" is a seedy tale of the JoBoxers' ideal woman. The usual foot stompin' has been replaced by a snappy toe tappin' beat and it's easily their worst single yet. (Peter Martin, Smash Hits, October 27, 1983)

This group said right from the beginning that they'd be bringing out singles that were completely different from each other, and this double A-side proves they weren't joking. What you - the record buying public - will make of 'Jealous Love', could go either way. It's a thumping good ballad with Dig's voice at its finest, but no way can they be trying to be commercial. 'She's Got Sex' is about a girl who wants 'it' all the time, but doubtless the BBC will play none of 'that' on their precious airwaves! (Debbi Voller, No 1, October 29, 1983)

Their Braces are getting frayed and their boots are just beginning to leak. JoBoxers slide off the waterfront as the charts become increasingly apathetic. A slowie with a powerful chorus but I just can't help feeling that Billy Joel could have done this revamp a lot better. (Robin Smith, Record Mirror, October 29, 1983)
