The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "GTOs ambitious sequel to last year's Remember Me This Way, which promoted the talents of Gary Glitter. Here, a vast army of pop performers are promoted, though the movie curiously only allows them to come into their own during the final half-hour. For the rest of the time, comedy leads Peter Denyer and Freddie Jones fool about with an indifferent script, directed in a whirlwind manner, with a few snatches of song here and there to whet the audience's appetite. Once the silly plot is tucked away, the stage is all clear for a glorified version of Top of the Pops: in a kitsch wonderland of shimmering fronds, balloons and decorated flowers, the glittering bands pound out their recent hits – and amongst the teenybopper audience Mr. Rockbottom, the adults' identification figure, follows the title number with his tuba." == References ==
