Rod Stewart followed the faux-disco trash of
Blondes Have More Fun with
Foolish Behaviour, which sanded out most of the character of the previous album. The result was a bland but professional -- even at their worst,
Rod and his band are always professionals -- collection, mainly comprised of dance-oriented, lightly synthesized pop/rock. The passionless "Passion" was the hit, but the only worthwhile song was the gorgeous "Oh God, I Wish I Was Home Tonight," which has the clever wit and self-depreciating melancholy of his finest work. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
