BANANARAMA Only Your Love (London)
Number One Magazine, 1990
This new single from the threesome sees them apparently going back to their club roots - do hey mean the Tufty Club?!? The girls have recently returned from a world tour playing such exotic locations as Indonesia and Thailand.

BANANARAMA Only Your Love (London)
NME, 21-Jul-1990
The collective age of disco divas, Shaz, Kaz and Maz, is now 97. In a last desperate bid to stave off the menopause, recapture adolescence nd make a uick buck in the process they've bolted the SAW stable and shacked up with Youth. Only Your Love could be any of the Nana's other singles seeing as they have the vocal capacity of a stretched elastic band, except in all their postmodern glory thye've half-inched the funky drummer break from Fools Gold bastardised the "ooh ooh" from Sympathy For The Devil and created a monster. Tacky, trashy and fun, fun, fun.

BANANARAMA - Only Your Love (London)
Meldoy Maker, 21-Jul-1990
. . . Far better to turn to the one group ever to help me gain entry to the hallowed portals of Private Eye, Bananarama, and their inspired use of the rhythm chorus from the Primals' Loaded. Only Your Love sees them getting down, seriously heavy, seriously clear. Sympathy for the devil is such a great song indeed.

BANANARAMA - Only Your Love
Sounds Magazine (UK) 21-Jul-1990
Bananarama have their private joke, copying from the Stones Sympathy For The Devil - or is it that awful Primal Scream petty crime - before launching a relatively indifferent dance track onto stilted waters. Humdrum samples, as it were.

BANANARAMA - Only Your Love (London)
Record Mirror (UK) 21-Jul-1990
The 'Nanas in almost good single shock. Youth, who in his regular time produces underground dance tracks for the WAU-Mr Modo label, cheekily takes a leaf from Andy Weatherall's Primal Scream file and welds it on to the Banana sound. Strange.

BANANARAMA - Only Your Love (London NANX21)
Record Mirror (UK) 10-Aug-1990
Quite remarkably Rolling Stones Sympathy For The Devil like "wooh wooh" prodded and slide guitar yowled, piano jangling jiggly hip house tempo galloper produced by Youth in Milky Bar (116.75 BPM), faster Hardcore Instrumental, Youth & Thrash On The Mix, and Paris Texas Instrumental variations (117.5 BPM), while its separate Remix (117.5 BPM) [London NANXR21] has Terry Farley's still Stones stule The Monkey Drum Mooch and A Tribute To Barry Mooncult Mixes (plus the Paris Texas Instrumental).
