"Christina's World" is a song by Scottish pop band The Big Dish, released on 5 January 1987 as the third and final single from their debut studio album Swimmer (1986).
Delicately stitching the space between portent and pellucid this casts a radiant joy, the warm glow at the song's centre offset by a just out of reach yearning."
He added that both "Christina's World" and the band's previous single "Slide" "show[s] the Big Dish's ability to write quality pop/rock songs".
[10] John Lee of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner praised it as "pop of genuine quality by a band which has shown that it really can deliver the goods" and expressed his hope that the song would be a hit.
[11] Roy Wilkinson of Sounds felt the Big Dish would "benefit from some of their subject's awkwardness because here they have a fine song smothered by the sheer obviousness of its insipid presentation".
