[4] Paul Connolly in The Times described it as "Perfect sunny day pop music",[5] while Dale Kattack in Nightshift wrote: "it's fantastically merry and uncomplicated but for all its sweetness there's barely a trace of tweeness to be heard".

[6] Stevie Chick in the NME described "Angel in the Snow" as "four minutes of icy-cool girl group incandescence".
