http://news.ansible.co.uk/a89x.html Humorous poem by Dave Langford which incorporates a dig at the magazine's initial news style: "Steve Green's and Martin Tudor's Critical Wave is famed for clear-eyed sf commentary, soberly put, such as ALIEN SCOTTISH CONVENTION FOUND ON MOON TURNS INTO ELVIS AND EATS OWN FOOT."
http://efanzines.com/Apparatchik/65-fmz-countdown.html Review by Andy Hooper in Appratchik #65 of the final issue: "Reading all the news in CW at once is a good way to depress yourself; seeing all the losses fandom has suffered in the last quarter stacked end to end gives me a serious chill."
http://users.rcn.com/devniad/otherw/PB38.html Review in The Proper Boskonian #38 of Critical Wave #45/46, 1996: "...really a quite respectable British news and reviews zine with a raft of good contributors writing well on many interesting topics.. go and read the thing, chances are you'll find much to like."
