Friends Again - Sunkissed (Phonogram)

Very pleasant indeed as John Peel would say. Friends Again (Scots lads) opt for a different class of pop music to the norm. Theirs is based on sultry vocal arrangements, Doobies styled acoustic guitars and a killer tune with a sting in the tail. More stylish than fashionable, it deserves a wide hearing. "Sunkissed" is produced by Bob Sargeant too so it sounds immaculate. (Max Bell, No 1, August 13, 1983)

Doesn't have the bite or exuberance of Aztec Camera whose shadow this walks in. It's all here, the lightly strummed acoustic guitar, the rattlesnake percussive effects, the doo-doo-de-doo chorus. It just isn't very interesting. (Johnny Black, Smash Hits, August 18, 1983)
