"Dei tre finti biondi è sempre stato il più silenzioso (è anche il più vecchio, il 31 Dicembre ha compiuto 64 anni): non è dato di sapere da che parte stesse nelle liti tra Sting, canatante e bassista, e Stewart Copeland, batterista e fondatore della band, che portarono i Police a una fine prematura. La sua è dunque la posizione idealeper affrontare la storia del trio che fece entrare i ritmi in levare del raggae dentro il linguaggio universale del pop. Storia che lui, Andy Summers, di professione chitarrista, per passione fotografo, ha raccontato in un libro e che ora ha riversato in un altro libro. Il titolo è I'll be watching you: Inside the Police, 1980-83 lo pubblica in 1500 preziosizzime copie l'editore tedesco TASCHEN: da un archivio di 25mila negativi, Summers spiega di aver selezionato 600 immagini per documentare gli anni compresi tra il 1980 e il 1983."— GQ, Milano, Italy

“From the release of ‘Roxanne’ to the Police’s final ‘80s tour, photographers tried to chronicle the band’s every move. But not even the paparazzi’s best had access equal to the band’s camera-toting guitarist, Andy Summers. Between 1980 and 1983, Summers shot thousands of photos of his band, the best of which are collected in his book, I’ll Be Watching You.”— Boston Herald, Boston, United States

"Alors que Police se reforme pour le live, en septembre, ce livre-reportage retrace l’âge d’or des créateurs de «Roxane». Summers (le guitariste du groupe) propose à travers six cents photos, presque toutes inédites, de revisiter le saga de 1980 à 1983, où le combo fit prendre au rock d’incroyables accents reggae. Il dévoile de l’intérieur toutes les facettes d’un quotidien mal connu: l’effervescence des coulisses, l’épuisement des tournées, le gigantisme des salles, la passion des fans…De superbes images intimes et complices en noir et blanc, légendées par Summers lui-même."— Muze, Paris, France
