Axe twangs, gents sneer nicely in London hip style. A Johnny Waller band. Enough said. (Sounds, 28/08/82)
The dilletante Modern English dip in and out of the gloom with the skill of seasoned opportunists, which doesn’t mean to say their lighter variant will be any more successful. (NME, 21/08/82)
Modern English | I Melt With You | (4AD) 1982 | A wonderful treat, even if it does start off sounding like an upmarket version of TV Personalities. An excellent tune, perfectly timed synths and an overall mood that’s like aural velvet. (Record Mirror, 28/08/82)
