Pete Wylie can be a contrary son of a gun on occasions: "If I Love You" isn't one of them. After the poor showing of "Diamond Girl" he returns to the more straightforward melodic pitch of "Sinful" with a considered semi ballad that starts off sounding like
Freddie Mercury and then gravitates more towards a modern street wise
Bob Dylan. Wylie's problem, if that's the way you look at it, is that he isn't firmly established enough in the public ear and eye to guarantee success with his slightly maverick songs. (
Max Bell, No 1, July 18, 1987)
