Spin (3/96, p.108) - 9 (out of 10) - "...Jarvis Cocker [is] the most observant, quotable British lyricist since Morrissey and Neil Tennant....Pulp elevate themselves to a level...supportive of Cocker's minutely detailed narratives and excessively theatrical delivery. The new-wave arrangements stay focused..." Q (12/95, p.142) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...the range of DIFFERENT CLASS is impressive: 'Live Bed Show' is the sort of brooding ballad Nick Cave might favour...tracks such as this and 'Feelings Called Love,' render more redundant than ever the view of Pulp as kitsch..." Melody Maker (10/28/95, p.37) - Bloody Essential - "...at once richly evocative of a quintessentially English pop past and yet as irreducible, idiosyncratic and NOW! as...The Smiths in their heyday. Pulp, in fact, are The Smiths if they hadn't been so appallingly disco-phobic..." Option (1-2/96, p.110) - "...a vivacious extravaganza of mod, melodramatic fun..."
