***
Backing music is decent but his vocals don't interest me at all.
****
Ich mochte Ihn zu beginn nicht so sehr, habe mich aber im Laufe der Zeit angefreundet mit ihm und nun ist er mir sehr sympathisch.<br><br>Ich muss sagen, ich hatte etwas mehr erwartet...<br>Der beginn ist sehr stark, doch als der Pre-Chorus einsetzt und schliesslich dann der Refrain geht das ganze etwas runter leider.<br>Im Grossen und Ganzen eine solide Nummer die sicherlich mit der Zeit noch mehr gefallen bekommen wird.<br>4*+
****
Although I highly appreciate the dramatic score, I can't help but think how boring this is.
**
While the composition itself is not bad (typical Bond which I like), Sam's overuse of falsetto totally kills the mood to the point I think I don't want to hear this again.
****
I like this and think it's a good Bond theme from him. His fifth UK#1. UK#1 and Ireland#9. US#71.

Not only did this not click with me that this is the new Bond theme until I looked it up, it pales in comparison to both "Skyfall" and "Another Way To Die". An average Sam Smith song with a little too much pomp. 3.5<br><br>
***
Very disappointing indeed. Its only saving grace is its production, which matches the mood of the Bond films perfectly, but the rest of it is extremely middle of the road and dull. Very uneven in a lot of places, which is a shame, because Sam's voice alone was enough of a reason for me to think he was the perfect candidate for the "Spectre" theme. After this, I think it should have probably went to Lana Del Rey or Radiohead. Shame this was the first Bond theme to go to number one. An extreme anti climax after all these years.
***
I feel like Sam Smith has as much freedom with his label as One Direction, perhaps less. Between having his album homogenised far more than his initial releases would have suggested, and Sam being a homosexual man but not so outwardly so that it affects his sales, the lack of projected character ironically makes him harder to like. And on that last point, I can't be the only person who's uncomfortable with the fact that he's recorded the official theme song to a movie about perhaps fiction's most famous homophobe? Again it feels like considering the best chance for strong sales over a logistically wise decision.<br><br>The song itself is okay. Ignoring that one incredibly jarring fact, much like Adele, Sam Smith is sonically perfect for Bond. He can slip into the more string-laden backing and it sounds totally natural. He also gets the chance to show off both his bolting tone, and his falsetto. It's also the first time I've been able to say 'well, it's better than his last #1', but when it's going for a similar approach to "Skyfall", it's hard not to negatively compare this to that. Hopefully the next Bond theme has more of a jolt like say "Live and Let Die", and hopefully Sam Smith can get some more freedom now that he has such a big audience at his disposal. 3.1

I can't stand listening to his voice on the radio anymore, but the orchestral parts where he doesn't sing are quite ok. The main problem though is that this doesn't feel like a James Bond song which makes it kind of useless.
****
It's not terrible but it's certainly no skyfall. The music is great and it stars of really strong, but the chorus I feel kinda lets it down. Good on it winning the Best original song at the Oscars tho.

I don't get the hate for this song. This is majestic.
***
Sure, Sam Smith has a great voice for a Bond theme, and this starts off promising but after that I find this terribly boring.
