Reviews of The Libertines, 'Don't Look Back Into The Sun'
''Listening to these singles is like an amalgam of music from the last 50 (or more) years. Think new wave meets 80’s indie with a serious splash of rock and touch of popular punk. When I hear ‘Don’t Look Back At The Sun’ it sounds like the Only Ones ‘Another Girl, Another Planet’ sung by a voice somewhere between Buddy Holly, Jilted John and Elvis Costello. The demo of ‘Tell The King’ sounds like The Smiths while ‘Mockingbird’ is an old style rock & roll number. For all that, The Libertines, with producer Bernard Butler, have kept the recordings fresh and lively with far more of a homage than a theft to those that have come before them.''

''Few bands create music this good in their whole lifetime. The Libertines manage to get it right every time and this one is a gem.''

''If this is to be the end of the Libertines as we know it, what a way to finish it all off. After other great singles released by this London band, Don't Look Back Into The Sun is without doubt one of their best (second only to What A Waster).
The rasping guitar introduction is less harsh than What A Waster and is easier on the ear, yet the song builds up into a wall of sound as it reaches it's climax. Surprisingly, the lyrics are sung more softly than other singles, and is showing the more sensitive side of them (but not too sensitive).''
