'Come in, come out of the rain. . .' and shelter in the company of the best record of the week. The Minds have always been masters at producing fragile yet muscular music and here the formula is repeated but with even more power. "Waterfront" is haunting, breathtaking, stunning, evocative and beautiful. And all at the same time. A glittering prize. (Paul Bursche, No 1, November 19, 1983)
Built round a shuddering backbeat shot through with guitar chords that will take your head off and overlaid with those haunting keyboard lines. "Waterfront" is remarkable even by Simple Minds' own high standards.Jim Kerr's vocal is one of rare beauty and measured passion. An iron fist in a velvet glove. Single Of The Fortnight. (Mark Steels, Smash Hits, November 10, 1983)
