Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
This is the album with "Summer of '69", "Run To You", "Somebody" and "It's Only Love" , on which Bryan Adams is joined by Tina Turner, who almost matches his raucous and rasping voice. Like all of these hits--some of them verging on anthems--the album is uptempo, feel good rock with Adams really on form, belting out the lyrics. As ever, he is backed by first-class musicians: the rhythm guitar is excellent, especially on "Run To You" and the lead guitar in "Kids Wanna Rock" is the kind of thing that has grown men playing mock guitars in front of the bedroom mirror. This is American rock at its best. --Carina Trimingham

CD Description
Bryan Adams was played a great deal on the radio in 1984/5;his music was the most radio-friendly rock to have been heard in a long time. Revisiting this album more than a decade later still confirms this; if anything, hearing him less makes you like him more. The hit singles still sound consistently good - 'Somebody', 'Summer Of '69' and 'Run To You' - butalthough he has a clearly recognisable style and sound all the other tracks sound fresh. Adams never needs to top this record as there is enough grist on this to keep him playing live forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute classic., 1 May 2001
By A Customer
Most of the material released by Bryan Adams during his long career has been mediocre at best. BUT... in the mid 80s he made this album and I will always be grateful to him that he did! After 16 years of regular listening, I still love it just as much. Raw energy, unpolished production and good songs all contribute to its magic. Quite simply, this is one of the best albums ever made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bryan Adams at his best, 6 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This is Bryan Adams' finest album and one that is just as enjoyable to hear now as when it came out. The production, arrangements, songwriting, singing, playing are all faultless (with the exception of the silly "Kids wanna rock"). From up-front rockers ("One night love affair", "Summer of '69", "Somebody", "It's only love") to the incredible power-ballad "Heaven" and the mid-tempo "Run to you", I can find no reason to criticise this album.

BA may be passing ungracefully into middle age, but this album is his legacy and will stand the test of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite album of all time, 16 Mar 2006
This is an all time classic and a CD that everyone should have in their collection. If all artists have one 'seminal' work, this is Bryan's. It has 10 tracks, 8 of which still feature regularly in his live set lists, and these include the Bryan Adams songs that everybody knows and loves - like 'Run to You', 'Heaven', 'Summer of 69' and 'Kids Wanna Rock'.

Despite being released in 1984 I think it is timeless and doesn't sound that dated even today, unlike some of his later stuff like Waking up the Neighbours (still a good CD but not a classic like Reckless).

For me the highlights of this album are the first two tracks, 'One night love affair' and 'She's only happy when she's dancing'. These are lesser-known to non-Bryan Adams fans but to me they are the two of the most catchy, unforgettable and brilliantly-written songs not only on this album but of his whole 25-year career.

There's nothing 'clever' about this album - it is just ten very simple, very melodic, feel-good pop/rock songs which I've never tired of listening to over the years.
