Reviews
- AMG
All Music Guide: All Over the Place - Denise Sullivan's review: "the
release capitalized on the pretty, all-girl-group angle rather than the
band's actual raw talent, which might otherwise have been too rough and
retro for radio at the time." 4 stars.
- CMJ:
All Over the Place - CMJ's review: "a glorious ode to pop music with
hooks galore, sweeping harmonies and just enough instrumentation that it's
not too sacharrine sweet." (June 25, 1984)
- AMG
All Music Guide: Different Light - Denise Sullivan's review: "the band's
vocal strengths shine through the gloss, and their pop sensibilities are not
completely lost." 3 stars.
-
Rolling Stone: Different Light - Laura Fissinger's review: "The quartet
might still be woodshedding in other areas, but in their harmonies they've
already arrived, with a singular sound both fully developed and full of
possibility."
- CMJ:
Different Light - CMJ's review: "a bit more "sugar and spice and
everything nice" to make it a more likely pop breakthrough LP."
(January 10, 1986)
- AMG
All Music Guide: Everything - Denise Sullivan's review: "the band's
original guitar-rock intent suffered at the hands of over-the-top song
structures and production." 2 stars.
-
Rolling Stone: Everything - Jimmy Guterman's review: "their harmonies
are the clearest and most evocative they've ever been - their voices float,
coalesce and soar. The only problem is the lyrics." 3 stars.
- CMJ:
Everything - CMJ's review: "The production here is cleaner than before,
which gives the lead vocals and the wonderful harmonies a terrific
immediacy." (October 21, 1988)
