For an extraordinary man, John Lennon managed to write a lot of very ordinary material before he died. This is so basic and dull that it barely merits criticism Who can take seriously A man who sings "gimme a break, gimme a break"? A lot of people over 30 will buy this and Yoko will become even richer but nobody knows better than poor Mrs Lennon that money isn't everything. (
Muriel Gray, Smash Hits, July 19, 1984)
It'll be a hit, it's quite poppy. There's still a sparse amount of genius but it's not as good as his last one. It's not the best thing to talk about, dead people, but I think they should just let him be remembered for the great things he's done because he's not here now to make these records sound the way they should.
