Marillion - Kayleigh (EMI)

Any record that mentions Belsize Park and "dancing in stilettoes in the snow" can't be all bad, but this one's trying very hard . Marillion are one of those groups you either love or hate, and I must confess they aren't really to my taste. There's a keyboard motif running through this record that sounds very familiar, and I was distracted from listening to it properly by trying to remember what it was. (Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy, Smash Hits, May 8, 1985)

Funny world, isn't it. There's Phil Collins of boring pomp rockers Genesis making great pop singles. Then there's Marillion, young enough to know better, who are aping a style that was tedious enough over ten years ago. (Karen Swayne, No 1, May 4, 1985)
