I love listening to this record – so much so that I hate having to write about it (this happens). Still here we go: “Felicity”, to all intents and purposes, be regarded as the ‘real’ A-side; the one, if either, which will be played on the radio. Please God! it’s lovely, unfashionably honest pop, with an irresistibly catchy chorus and all the other bits that a pop song should have, plus a couple of cheeky touches in the shape of a disco whistle and the immortal words “take me to the bridge”.

What more can you reasonably ask for? Airplay is what; all the attention that “L.O.V.E. Love” was so criminally denied. Your prayers are asked . . . “In A Nutshell” is the ‘Sunday Morning’ of Velvet Orangjuice; very pretty, but the arrangement doesn’t make of the song all it might. (Record Mirror, 16/01/82)
