British band the Tremeloes released an English-language version of the song in January 1968. It became a top-ten hit in the UK and peaked at number 44 on the US Billboard Hot 100. [3] [4] It was an early example of British bubblegum pop. [2]
"Suddenly You Love Me" was released as a double A-sided single with "As You Are" in most countries. In the Netherlands and Germany, "As You Are" was promoted as the sole A-side and peaked at number 35 on the German Singles Chart. [5] In the US and Canada, "Suddenly You Love Me" was released two weeks later than the UK, with the flip side "Suddenly Winter", which was the B-side to the band's previous single "Be Mine". [6] In New Zealand, "Suddenly You Love Me" was released with the B-side "Negotiations in Soho Square", taken from the album Alan, Dave, Rick and Chip. [7]
Reviewing for New Musical Express , Derek Johnson wrote that "Suddenly You Love Me" "exudes a wonderfully lighthearted atmosphere, with organ, rattling tambourine and handclaps providing a sizzling backcloth to the boys' spirited vocal". Whilst "As You Are" was described as being "much slower", "a rhythmic ballad with a descriptive lyric". [8]
Billboard described is as "one of [the Tremeloes] most powerful entries to date" and as an "infectious and rhythmic rocker that should quickly surpass their "Even the Bad Times Are Good" and bring them back to the "Silence Is Golden" selling class". [9] Cash Box wrote that "Happy bounce and a terrific up-tempo side done with mirthful group vocals and a soiid orchestral drive make it possibly the brightest side by the Tremeloes in a long while". [10]
In a retrospective article, Robin Carmody of Freaky Trigger praised the song's "grinning rush" and grouped it among other early British bubblegum songs, like the Love Affair's "Everlasting Love" (1967) and the Casuals' "Jesamine" (1968), for their emerging sense of optimism, "not in a cloying or false way, but appealingly (and unreachably) pre-ironic."
