"Kim Wilde is new wave at the genre's absolute finest; it's fun, it's a little weird, and it's anchored by songs that nod to the past while blasting headlong into the future. Dismiss Kim Wilde as a one-hit wonder or sleep on Kim Wilde at your own risk - you just might miss out on some of the best tunes of the early '80s if you do".

"These three reissues are nicely put together - the demos and rough mixes are real finds and the videos are good fun to watch, if perhaps not essential. Kim Wilde, backed by the songs of brother Ricky and dad Marty, presented some irresistibly breezy and fresh pure pop on these three LPs, with the debut's punch making it my favourite. She was clearly a smart cookie and her voice and charisma brightened the early 80s with vim and panache, as evidenced here again and again".
