Nick Heyward - Laura (Arista)

If you go out with some one called Laura and it's her birthday then buy this for her. If your girlfriend isn't called Laura then don't. As with all his records it's well produced, well played and will go into the charts (and on Top Of The Pops). So If you like Nick, don't listen to me. (Simon O'Brien, Smash Hits, May 22, 1985)

Guitars, bass and vocals all merge together to make a pleasant sort of sound, and as usual, Nick has no trouble whatsoever in picking out a tune. "Laura" is a departure from his recent, funkier efforts (like "Warning Sign"). Its also one of his best. Sold in a package with some of the best Haircut tracks this is unmissable. May his wackiness remain forever untarnished... (Paul Bursche, No 1, June 1, 1985)

The guitar reminds me of Paul McCartney's version of the Crossroads theme. It's a nice pop song. It's Radio One material. If the weather's nice, I'm outside and hear it, it would be good. (Leee John [Imagination], Record Mirror, June 8, 1985)

Nick Heyward - You're My World (Warner)

A little chubbier around the cheeks perhaps and a little thinner on top, but pre-Bros heartthrob Nick has lost none of his talent for writing classic songs. "You're My World" steams along breathlessly, crafted with care, precision and heart. (Robin Smith, Record Mirror, August 27, 1988)
