That's probably a wise decision, because 'Love You Anyway' isn't the tune to rebuild a career on. In trying to come up with an uplifting, retro-sounding pop smash - their 'Shine' perhaps? - Boyzone have somehow ended up sounding like Wizzard. It's catchy enough, but a bit too slight and a bit too odd to warrant pulling the "guilty pleasure" tag out the bag.

A great first track for Boyzones return! i love it!! Ronan Keating can do no wrong for me the guy is a god!! look forward for more to come xxxx
Great!
this is a lovely song and catchy. i love the horns and bells played in the background. im happy its in the top ten
Not very good. You're being generous with a two star review! Take That have nothing to worry about here.
Your two stars is about right - its what I'd give it. Not bad considering its Boyzone but it really isn't very memorable Can't see this still being in the top 200, let alone 40 ten months on from its release. Keating has an awful voice.
I love the new single, it's catchy and sticks to your head the whole day! Welcome back boyz!
The song is brilliant! but saw them on This Morning last week and there choice of clothes was terrible! But still song amazing
disagree with the reviewer. at first i didn't get the song but after a three listens i loved it. i think the song is catchy and the beat has some horn bits and coolness about it. the song is warming to me by the minute
It's Boyzone, it's crap!!!!! The only people who like this have brains the size of peanuts, so dire in every way.
I absolutely love this song!! it's a beautifull song andi can't wait for it to be delivered at my house! I'm happy that the Boyz are back!
Oh my goodness I love this song, I was such a big boyzone fan back in the day and now they're back and better. Its so catchy, although if any other group did those dance moves it would be awful but boyzone make it look good and can get away with it. Love them.
I hated it at first, but its sooooo catchy. I love it!
I really like the new single. The only way I'd have liked it even more is if the lead vocal's had been shared but having heard their second single 'Better' I'm more than satisfied! Brilliant! :-).
I really like their new single! It's so different to anything else they've ever done so fair play to them! :-)
I absolutely love it.
I love this and I'm not even a Boyzone fan.
This is the best song ever, as a very keen boyzone fan I feel I can safely say this is one of their best songs ever. It wipes the floor with the likes of Take that (more like take who!!!!) Come on Boyzone you rock whoop whoop :)
I'm really liking it. think they've chosen a nice sounding track which really grows on yo after a couple of hearings. and the video is sweet.
How bad is that. it's truly awful. i can't believe Ronan "The Ego" Keating would put his name to something this bad.. lol Take that must be laughing at them soooooo much!
I think that this is a harsh analysis of "love you anyway"! I feel their mix of motown and pop is better than some of their previous so called greatest hits
