Everything:
- Jimmy Lofgren - First of the power ballads. A bit of AOR-oriented, but quite allright. So it's for his wife? ... 7/10
- John (VC10) - 80s style Toto/Foreigner arrangement detracts from a quality song. Still, it's too good to be put off by that, it's still growing on me and will probably win me over. I guess everyone else writes big rock power ballads and Andy's entitled to join in. I hope it gets loads of US radio airplay and earns him a mint! 3/5
- Stef (myadrenaline) - rich string, Pink Floydish wailing guitar, simple melody, slow, adding layers. unusual harmony right at the end of the verse. Always just a taste of guitar solo that leaves me wanting more.
- Steve Goldspink (GoldenArm) - A very powerful and full production. The driving guitar and drums, together with the underlying repeating guitar sequence, give this a pulsating yet relaxing feel. Nice melodic verse and chorus. Laid back guitar links and solos with Andy's trademark twiddles. 8/10.
