"The maxi of Beautiful Morning features great remixes of this classic AoB hit in Europe as well as the video for the track. While Linn is not featured in the song, except on backing vocals, it is nonetheless a great little upliftng tune and it is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Jenny carries the song and is backed by the Bishop Choir, so it sounds a bit like Beautiful Life. The video is interesting and my only complaint is the way Linn appears in the video; she is practically not in it at all and when she is, she is shown with a cup of coffee or tea in front of her at some sort of restaurant. How discouraging to see her depicted in such a poor fashion. Contrary to how Ulf appears in the video, he is not, according to sources at aceofbase.com, homosexual. I strongly recommend the maxi single as well as UNSPEAKABLE & THE JUVENILE."
Oh what a beautiful cd!

"Ace of Base is finially back with their new, up lifting single, Beautiful Morning. Its a cross between "Hallo Hallo" and "Life is a flower" Tracks include:1. Radio Version (2:59)
2. Spanish Fly Radio Edit (2:57)
3. Groove Radio Edit (2:46)
4. Spanish Fly Club Version (5:15)
5. CD-Rom Enhanced Video (2:59) As for track five, the Scandinavians fans are less lucky and will have to live without the video but are going to receive the 2-track single, containing the Radio Edit and the Radio Groove Radio Edit. One plus for Linn fans is that we get to see more of her than we did during the whole Flowers/Cruel Summer era.In Denmark, the single has had the greatest GAIN in plays in the last week and enters as the highest new entry at #63 on the official airplay chart. In Sweden, it climbs from #52 to #29 but in Germany it climbs from #41 to #19 to #14. An American Release is in the far future.The Single was written by Jonas, Jenny and Linn Berggren. Produced by Pontus Söderqvist at LaCarr Studios, Stockholm and Axel Breitung, Germany. Ace of Base does not care if their records sell millions, they only care that their Music is out there, heard, and enjoyed by their fans."
Oh! What a cloudy morning

"I love Ace of Base but a little dissapointed with this single. The Spanish Fly Club Mix is the only version worth listening to. the lyrics are not that great. I don't think this is a good follow up to their previous albums. This is one single you should save your money on."
What a great single to reopen their career

"Many of us thought Ace of Base was toast with such long gaps between albums. It seems AOB label troubles haven't helped speed up releases. This song is pure Ace of Base - it has a beautiful echo of their first album; so much so that you might think this song was actually intended for their first album, The Sign. It's great when a group returns to their original sound - especially when that sound was great.Beautiful Morning is up beat, light-hearted and fun to sing with. It has a great positive message, but this is the single; don't miss the album De Capo already released in Europe."
