Dee C Lee - Selina Wow Wow (CBS)

Who's this? ... Oh, the girl from Wham! That's .. . alright. It stays on the same level, there's no light and shade .. it doesn't seem to quite take off. It's a very powerful chorus but it isn't very pretty, it doesn't swing. Could be a continental hit but I don't think it's what the UK wants to hear. Best of luck with it, though! (Phil Fearon, Record Mirror, March 3, 1984)

This lady was apparently booted out of Wham! but it obviously hasn't affected her talent and confidence. I love the chorus and verse, and I also love the middle. In fact, I love it all. May be a hit. (Limahl, Smash Hits, February 16, 1984)

Just like Carol Kenyon, Dee C. Lee is undoubtedly a great singer, but she stands a little lost
in the limelight. The self-penned "Selina Wow Wow" is an affectionate tribute to her sexy sister - a harmless, un-frantic exercise in funk. Dee C. Lee has a lovely voice and a vivacious personality. All she needs is some better material. (Maureen Rice, No 1, March 3, 1984)

Dee C Lee - See The Day (CBS)

Dee's career-by-association has been pretty well chronicled, from young gun in Wham! to Style Councillor, but the lady's always aimed for a solo career. The voice that's just helped "The Lodgers" up the charts is given full rein here on a lush ballad that could've been done 20 years back by the likes of Dusty Springfield or Pet Clark. It's a progression from the poppy soul of earlier releases, and a move that should establish her as a name in her own right. (Karen Swayne, No 1, October 19, 1985)

Paul Weller's sidekick, currently prominent on the Style Council's "The Lodgers", swims bravely through a swelling soundtrack ballad for a non-existent Sixties movie, but ends up drowning in the strings. The cover of Weller's "The Paris Match" on the B-side is a much more suitable frame for D C's voice. (Roger Morton, Record Mirror, October 19, 1985)

Dee's excellent voice is showcased warmly on a song that Dusty Springfield (veteran British pop singer) or Tony Hatch (veteran British pop composer - he did the Crossroads them, fact fans) would have sinned for. A brave production and arrangement for the lady better known for her Style Council-ing. (Paul King, Smash Hits, October 23, 1985)
