Critical reception
Upon release, Melody Maker commented: "Holly's a great one for the notion that social improvement begins with the self. We are all prospective gods and the sweet "Heaven's Here" tells us, "This is your lifetime"."[3] Record Mirror described the song as "sweet, sparkling pop fizz".[4] American newspaper The Age commented: "The lad's mellowed. "Atomic City" is very 'Frankie Goes to Hollywood', but "Heaven's Here" is an ordinary, vague, love song - it'd be a good song to give to Jason. I can see him now, haloed by pure white clouds on a sand dune, Kylie's face in the clouds of course."[5]
