every now and then. I like it, actually." Tony Parsons of NME praised the "beautiful, understated melody" and "hesitant, almost shy lyric that is not without flashes of humour" and concluded, "They never sounded less like Madness and they never sounded so good." Thompson Twins' member Joe Leeway, as guest reviewer for Record Mirror, described it as "more melodic than usual" and "a mysterious 'out in the cold' song" with a "great sax vamp towards the end". Frank Hopkinson of Number One noted Smyth's "Bowie-ish vocal" and commented, "Suggs has stepped down for a single that still includes Mike Barson but is stripped of the usual Madness trademarks (including the hum-along tune). I know it's unthinkable, but this one might not even make the top ten!"
