On the basis of
Tonight, it appears that
David Bowie didn't have a clear idea of how to follow the platinum success of
Let's Dance. Instead of breaking away from the stylized pop of "Let's Dance" and "China Girl,"
Bowie delivers another record in the same style. Apart from the single "Blue Jean," none of the material equals the songs on
Let's Dance, but that doesn't stop
Tonight from becoming another platinum success. Nevertheless, the record stands as one of the weakest albums
Bowie ever recorded.
