AllMusic[2]

Send You is the first studio album by Sneaky Feelings.[3][1] It was released in 1983 via Flying Nun Records.

Production

The album was recorded in four days, in a minimalist fashion.[4]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that the album "makes a strong case that Sneaky Feelings were among the best pop bands of the '80s, no matter what part of the world they came from or what label released their records."[2] PopMatters wrote that "the deft songwriting of Send You is not entirely showcased considering the label’s limited recording resources at the time, so most of the multi-tracked harmonies on display ... are unfortunately obscured."[4] Perfect Sound Forever wrote that Send You "remains a gem, with songs like 'Throwing Stones' and 'Someone Else's Eyes' crystallizing the (often oversimplified) notion of a 'Dunedin Sound,' an identifiable jangle that hearkened back to the great guitar pop of the '60's."[5]
