Reception[edit]
Cash Box called "Just Around the Corner" "darkly ominous, brooding, yet hopeful – a brilliant cut" with a "highly original sound, with the Call and Prefab Sprout possible reference points".[1] Jerry Smith of British magazine Music Week described the song as being a "strong, evocative material".[2]
The song was a hit in Europe, reaching the Top 20 in several countries, but failed to chart in the band's native country of the US.
