Reception
In his January 30, 1982 "Odds ‘N’ Bods" column, James Hamilton gave a brief review of Linda Taylor's album which was still in the early stages, and in what he described by as an incomplete rough mix, he said that every cut was dripping with class and the ultimate killer was likely to be "You and Me Just Started".[4] On the week of April 24, Hamilton mentioned the single again in his column, calling Cris Palmer's production an "excellent chunkily bumping 114bpm 12in staccato lurcher full of great little twiddly bits". He also mentioned the influence from Chic's song "Good Times" and that DJs could craftily mix Chic in the break near the end of the song.[5]
