The sing has a simple appeal about it and Billy catches this without delving into his deeper beat voice". He described "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" as having "a more dramatic Latin pattern and Billy's mood is serious".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Summer_(Billy_Fury_song)#cite_note-4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">[4]</a> In <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_Mirror" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">New Record Mirror</a>: Fury "outlines the things he wants to do in summer – and it's a very, very commercial outline" and that "in parts, it doesn't sound much like Bill – but that's because it's so far away from the recent releases of his". The B-side was described as "much like the Fury of late. Warm, emotional, throbbing, dynamic".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Summer_(Billy_Fury_song)#cite_note-5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204);">[5]</a> <img src="https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.5b9b33a5813e58b001e7f009f7f749f4?rik=MMaFLgNIR4Acag&riu=http%3a%2f%2fi.ytimg.com%2fvi%2fxrpVMM6dz84%2fmaxresdefault.jpg&ehk=QAmP4CqcyQjLYaiE6cqciAN4d5w4OQ%2fB7f4NkU%2f8Cbs%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0" alt="Billy Fury - In summer (HQ) - YouTube"> <img src="https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.b4673d45c08d7412835e46c0034b2085?rik=ZHk7m9C0%2fu8fQg&riu=http%3a%2f%2f3.bp.blogspot.com%2f-V6g70lQf210%2fUW7dlEjKRSI%2fAAAAAAAAFvw%2fu-eHbSrm_BI%2fs320%2fBilly-Fury-Classics-And-Coll-453530.jpg&ehk=r%2fTC3%2fDzlfXIifABGgyz7SsP%2bc%2fZAnrF1TKfACtvxQY%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0" alt="FROM THE VAULTS: Billy Fury born 17 April 1940"><img src="https://imgc.allpostersimages.com/img/print/u-g-P6E8D30.jpg?w=550&h=550&p=0" alt="Billy Fury Photo at AllPosters.com">
