Easily their most instantly accessible track to date, all bouncing rhythms and catchy melodies plus some scorching guitar, this couldn't be further from Bunnyland. And what's more, there isn't an 'up', 'down', or an 'around' within earshot. This one's all spills, fills, hills and thrills instead. It'll have them humming all the way to the bank, no doubt. (Jane Wilkes, Record Mirror, October 25, 1986)
If, by any chance, you've been wondering what Echo And The Bunnymen have been up to lately, they've actually gone into hospital and been transplanted into something called The Mighty Lemon Drops. The only problem is that The Lemons (The Droppies?) forgot to borrow any of the better songs and are thus left with a fair amount of egg on face. (Barry McIlheney, Smash Hits, November 5, 1986)
I love the 60s Phil Spectorish production on this. The song's not bad - but it doesn't move mountains or anything. This is the first thing I've heard from them and on the strength of the production I wouldn't mind listening to some more. (Kim Wilde, No 1, April 18, 1987)
A bit "Needles And Pins" and a bit "Back Of Love", but a damn fine record even among those odious comparisons. The MLD's have delivered what they promised, and that's a relief. (Nancy Culp, Record Mirror, April 11, 1987)
