A review by Mark Hogan of the B-side to Morrissey’s latest single “The Youngest was the Most Loved” was posted on Pitchfork’s website a few weeks ago. He gave it a decent 3.5 stars.
Hogan starts off: “False modesty has always suited Morrissey. Again and again, this charming man makes us believe he's as undesirable as we-- in clammy moments of relapsing adolescence-- fear we truly are. Dapper as ever in tux on the cover of this single, he moans, "If you don't want me/ You don't have to have me" over chase-scene acoustic guitars like those on Vauxhall's "Why Don't You Find Out for Yourself". Typical Moz: "If You Don't Like Me, Don't Look at Me" is as good as several tracks on its corresponding album.”
The rest is here.
