Cherie Currie: Cherie Currie
Sandy Robertson, Sounds, 21 January 1978
NATURALLY ENOUGH, I have to mention the The Runaways in this review. When Cherie left, a lot of people thought they'd sink without trace, but all that happened was that they became a better rock'n'roll band and Cherie (as evidenced by this record) became a better singer of melodic songs (just like she always wanted to be).
