REVIEWS

Average points: 3.92 (Reviews: 13)

10.03.2004 19:45 southpaw Member	***** Von allen Top Ten-Hits, die er in den USA hatte, hier wohl der Unbekannteste. Mir hat er gefallen, gefälliges midtempo (# 9 im Jahr 1979).
19.09.2005 14:06 Voyager2 Member	**** Recht ordentliche Popnummer mit Discoeinschlag, die auf jeden besser klingt als das im gleichen Jahr erschienene "Victim of Love". Last edited: 07.11.2013 14:30
02.07.2007 10:55 LarkCGN Member	***** Heute wird die Session gerne gelobt, aber seinerzeit muss es sicher auch harsche Kritiken gegeben haben, denn immerhin war Elton John hier nicht an der Komposition beteiligt und lieh dem Ganzen "nur" seine zweifellos hervorragende Stimme! Wie dem auch sei, auf diesen Sound stehe ich so oder so. Exzellente Produktion, geschmeidiger Stil! Toll!
remember Member	*** auch #9 AUS und #10 in CAN<br>ironischerweise nicht mal in UK veröffentlicht, was mich aber nicht weiter verwundert, das ist strunz-langweilig..
Widmann1 Member	**** ganz okay diese disco-Nummer
BeansterBarnes Member	* Peaked at #82 in Australia, 1979.
mikebordt Member	**** sehr schön
fleet61 Member	**** ... solide 4 ...
spatz-98 Member	***** ...gut...<br><br>CDN: #10, 1979<br>USA: #9, 1979
Der_Nagel Member	*** Disco-Nummer aus Ende der 70er, der es meiner Meinung nach an Pepp fehlt, reisst mich nicht sonderlich vom Hocker, 3*…
Besnik Member	**** War zwar auch ein schöner Song, aber ich fande "Are you ready for Love" war die stärkere Single vom Album!
drogida007 Member	***** <br>Ist einfach eine dufte Nummer.
Rewer hitparade.ch	**** ...gut...
