We got a top review from Indie Pages 

Hey Paulette - "Long Ball Into Nowhere" cd (Firestation)
This band has been championed by both the label and Peter of Twee.net/Clarendon Records (who coreleased this disc) for so long (with Peter even including a song from them on the otherwise current indiepop compilation "Seven Summers" in 1998), that it's only natural that these fellows have created this collection of the band's material. Although Hey Paulette only got around to releasing a couple of singles (and recording a Peel Session) during their brief career in the late 80s/early 90s, the label has discovered a wealth of previously unavailable tunes and even a video of the band's classic single, "I Really Do Love Penelope". The music is naturally up to Firestation's usual standard: guitarpop with male vocals and an emphasis on the jangle and POP! There are countless instant classics (as well as a few old favorites) on here, including "Another Poet", "Give Up", "Our Immeasurable Differences" and of course, "I Really Do Love Penelope" (the latter two of which only appear here in Peel Session form, making this not 100% complete). Any fan of the late-80s British guitarpop sound will be simply thrilled with this disc...   MTQ=17/17
