Critical reception



A reviewer from 'Liverpool Echo' called the song "cheerful and catchy."'Liverpool Echo'. 28 January 1991. p. 15. Retrieved 27 November 2020. Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' commented, "The well-known PWL-vibe, sometimes known as 'the sound of a bright young Britain' strikes back. G.L.A.D. stands for Good Lovin And Devotion, and is taken from Appleby's solo debut album as the follow-up to Don't Worry. It's solid but not exactly profound." 'Newcastle Evening Chronicle' described it as "bouncy bubbly pop", noting that Appleby co-wrote it with late sister Mel and ex Bros Craig Logan.'Newcastle Evening Chronicle'. 29 January 1991. p. 21. Retrieved 27 November 2020.
