Reception
The track has gotten positive reviews.
'Retropop Magazine' described it: "A synth-driven love song at its core, the track sees Andy Bell pine after a potential lover, over Vince Clarks trademark pulsing beats."
Stereogum described it: "a patiently pulsing, simmering depiction of that sort of dizzying early love phase."
Slug Magazine said: "Having the distinction of being the most traditional, Erasure-sounding cut, it has all the elements of single status: upbeat but slightly darker synths, intriguing lyrics and a great vocal performance by Bell."
Credits
'Nerves of Steel' is written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell.
