A Shalamar beat that bears straight down on the floorboards, a crisply cynical lyric and Mel & Kim give a cheery British retort to Madonna's "Material Girl". Mel & Kim maybe aren't serious money, but they are most certainly smart money. And despite the fun and love and sensuous crooning, the accent is firmly on dosh! This is the sound of a thousand Access and American Express cards showin' out in a thousand Thatcherite suburbs. It hurts to have to tell you that this and the haircut (Swing Out Sister) below really are the best of the week. (Pete Paisley, Record Mirror, July 4, 1987)
