There's a quote about "When Doves Cry" from Bennett The Sage's Top 20 Best Number One Songs that I agree with "Sure the subject about a relationship on the rocks isn't new territory but, Prince takes it a whole new direction. Instead of laying the blame squarely on himself or her he approaches it as a means of self examination, and show a level of maturely that is sadly lacking in music in general, not just in pop music"
