It made people realise we can make really good pop music with great videos in New Zealand.
– Holidaymakers guitarist Stephen Jessup on Sweet Lovers, in The Wellingtonian, 25 November 2013
The vocals are spine tinglingly superb. The single sounds like a million dollars, with world-class production and performance … and if it doesn't go Top 20, I’ll eat a copy!
– Wellington writer and music retailer John Pilley on 1988 song Sweet Lovers, Rip It Up, May 1988
