One of Coulter's biggest hits, Angel of My Dreams, was met with widespread acclaim from critics and has now been sampled by Jade Thirlwall of Little Mix fame.
Rolling Stone UK described it as "A bold, unrepentant start to Jade's life as a solo star" and added how "it starts with the most distinctive distorted sample of Sandie Shaw’s ‘Puppet On A String’... "the lyrics are spicy, and while the sample seems random, the idea of being a puppet on a string perfectly fits the ethos of the song".
In their review of the song, Billboard named Angel of My Dreams as one of the best single releases in 2024, describing it as "original and attention grabbing".
Phil Coulter says,
“It's hard to believe I wrote this song 57 years ago and here it is back in the charts! In the music business they say that the real test of a song's quality is Longevity! I'd say 57 years just about makes it!!! Thank you Jade!”
