Critical reception
[edit]In a review published in Smash Hits, Gary and Martin Kemp of the Spandau Ballet band were critical of "Feels Like the First Time", stating they "hate[d] this sort of record" as they considered it tasteless and a "pure production-line soul" which "[took] the human element out"; however, they stated that "So Macho" was "worse".[1]
