There are a few like myself who are not, and have never been, smitten by the charms of Madonna. We have waited for two years for her to put a foot wrong and disappear into pop's legendary dumper. But she never does. And I'm forced to admit that she's certainly not dumper-bound with this one either. It's from the LP of the same name and has Madonna singing in a fantastically coy voice about true love, over one of those thumpa-thumpa-thumpa-thumpa rhythms. And just to prove that I've always been wrong about Madonna it'll be a huge hit. Bother. (William Shaw, Smash Hits, September 24, 1986)
Blondie had "Sunday Girl", Madonna has 'True Blue' - the perfect popsicle to sing your lungs out to. And then what? "True Blue II"? A glorious retirement? Or more filling of coffers? Whatever, Madonna will now be remembered as the girl who wrote a song so sweet it melts your brain. (Paul Simper, No 1, September 20, 1986)
