Arguably both Moyet and Clarke would go on to better things as the 80s progressed, but "Only You" and "Don't Go" remain illustrious highlights in the careers of both, and arguably the best singles either of them have recorded throughout their individual careers.

I knew about Yazoo as a child and, as a fan of theirs, I was especially interested in Alison Moyet’s solo career. There is nobody in music quite like her. The same goes for Vincent Clarke. An amazing duo who released a wonderous debut album, it is no wonder so many critics lined up to give it praise at the time. Since its release, Upstairs at Eric’s has gained a lot of respect and inspection. This is what AllMusic said in their assessment: in my room, only you, bring your love down.. don't go. charming good easy flowing numbers are here, plenty. Pleasing debut from the synth duo (plus one: E. C. Radcliffe, a cohort of sorts of Clarke‘s) of Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet.

Variant 2): STUMM-7 -A-1 MT-2 JA TAPE ONE ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING D.A.D. Review Summary: Catchy and concise yet innovating and influential, it's quite possibly Vince Clarke's finest hour. The Basildon boy with an obsession for analogue synthesisers made important groundwork with innovating Depeche singles like 'Just Can't Get Enough' and 'New Life', but for the most part 'Speak & Spell' sounded like a clumsy sonic experiment, ending in mixed results. Clarke's early toying around with synths finally came into full fruition on 'Upstairs at Eric's', and he managed to grow from rather awkward, misguided efforts like 'Boys Say Go!', into touching and observed, synth-pop ballads like 'Only You'.

Sadly, I was not privy to early second-British-invasion acts like Yazoo until long after the fact; sure, I heard “Situation” here and there, and wondered who it was. And I got myself a copy of Alison Moyet’s 1984 single “Invisible.” Pioneering synthpop Could I be the first person in the past 40 years who hasn’t compared Upstairs at Eric’s to Eurythmics’ Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) and Touch? a b Salaverri, Fernando (2005).
