Conversation so far:
When originally released what did the critics say?
The intriguing features of 'Hey Jude' are its extreme length and the 40-piece orchestral accompaniment - and personally I would have preferred it without either!.
Who wrote the negative review?
Derek Johnson of the NME.

Question: Did anyone else write negative reviews?
Self-contained rewrite: Aside from Derek Johnson, did anyone else write negative reviews of Hey Jude?
