Morris ... gave (The Game of Love) a sparse arrangement – he had learnt that less was often more – with a slinky rhythm nailed down by another innovative snare sound. Supported by a stylish, monochromatic video by Paul Middleditch it became a No.1 hit in the New Zealand charts. Its reign at the top was brief – one week – as copies of the single ran out the day it reached number one, but it received extensive radio airplay.
– Writer Chris Bourke on 'The Game of Love', in his AudioCulture profile of Ian Morris
