Never really been sure if the lyrics of this were genuine or sarcastic. I've always tended to lean towards the latter, but that's just a guess. I like it but have never thought of it as the band at their very best. It's a good track from an above average album. An album that, thankfully, stopped in its tracks the fright it's predecessor gave me  8/10 |

I like this. It's one of those slice of life songs that Quo did really well, and as Dennis sayd, "just so Rick". (What Mortified says, I don't this this is sarcastic but I wouldn't believe a word of it  ) |

I like this but somehow Rick's delivery isn't cutting it for me. Not one of my favourites on an album that, overall, I hold in very high esteem.

This whole album is slightly odd for me.
There is not the blinding, absolute classic song, but some extremely good ones, nigh on excellent.
But it is an album that is far greater than the sum of it's parts.
And that's "Your Smiling Face" for me.
I wouldn't chose to play it as an individual track, but I never skip it when playing the album. Along with every other track.

I like this one its very good without been considered a classic.
Often find if I have this one on in the car and I am on my own, I end up having a bit of a sing a long.
