The Adventures - Send My Heart (Chrysalis)

A big "uplifting" song with hymn-like "aaahs" in the chorus and jangling guitars while the group work hard to live up to the beautiful hand-tinted photo of them on the cover. Record sleeve of the fortnight and possibly a hit. (Neil Tennant, Smash Hits, November 8, 1984)

The Adventures try ever so hard to construct classic and mature pop songs to make up for their anonymous image. However, "Send My Heart" sounds like A Flock Of Silly Haircuts' last single and is about as classic as their bri-nylon shirts. Hummable yes, adventurous no. (Adrian Tierney-Jones, No 1, November 10, 1984)
