Robert Smith actually sounds in a fairly good mood here, but I’m sure it’s just a silly phase he’s going through. In fact the whole song smiles more than usual, bucked up by some meaty electronics. (Record Mirror, 02/07/83)

The Cure have copied the chronic New Order with horrific results, you know the kind of thing – allusions to star-crossed love and a life in the shadows, shrill angst and a toothache beat; these chaps have been around for quite a time now, they’re the godfathers of Tears For Fears. Actually includes the line “Visiting time was over” which wins it the first annual Richard Hell Barrel Of Laughs Award. (NME, 09/07/83)
