"Concert of the month: Night of the clubs - on the stage usual suspecting, like Dirk Darmstaedter (Ex-Jeremy Days),... In addition, there are perls to discover, like The Purelove at the KIR... "
(Prinz. September 2000).

"God help me!!! Am I dreaming or not? This is perfect, probably too perfect to be true... Brilliant composed popsongs floating on a wave of gorgeous synths with guitar riffs Johnny Marr could have played...pure genius... this is how good pop should sound like."
(The Original Sin, December 1997)

"This created album not only is authentic but good, that good that you cannot and should not escape its moody melodies and the dandylike, temporaily two-voice singing. King Pop is proud of you, guys!"
(B-Side, October 1997)

"'By my side' should find its way on to each and every pop tape recorded for friends."
(Sunset, October 1997)

"King Pop by The Purelove shifts into the CD-player, you lean back relaxedly, close your eyes and shoot your individual video to te songs...you go walking on the melodybow of the electronic P!O!P!-songs."
(Time Thief, September 1997)

"King Pop is a reminiscence to the big age of the undergroud pop...a sound that newly awakes the feeling of the 80s."
(Harburger Nachrichten, August 1997)

"Why roam so far to England, when you can find the good that near? Fabulous synthie-pop youcan also find in Hamburg - performed by The Purelove." (Hamburger Abendblatt, May 1997)

"The Hamburg duo emulates pop-perfectionists like Lightning Seeds or Electronic and gets supported by Pat Fish on the guitar. This Englishman should be well known to Hamburg by his amusing gigs also known as The Jazz Butcher."
(Szene, May 1997)

"The Purelove commute between the romantic pop music of the 80s and the playful pop of the 90s. By the way, the guitar lines of the debut album of the Puries have been brought in by Jazz Butcher-mastermind Pat Fish."
(Leipziger Rundschau, May 1997)

"Some rather catchy pop tunes have occured to the duo... A welcome remembrance hour to the underground pop of the last decade."
(Prinz, June 1997)

"12 lustrous pop songs - 12 tributes to King Pop. Magnificent, affectionate songs between New Order/Electronic & Lloyd Cole/Go-Betweens of the Hamburg vocalist/keyboard-duo and their guest star, the Jazz Butcher Pat Fish."
(Malibu, August 1997)

"The Purelove are the last romantics alive. On search for the perfect pop song even english band The Jazz Butcher caught their ear. A joint appearance is to come soon."
(Hamburger Abendblatt, April 1994)
