Barry Manilow is one of the most talented artists ever. I love the ballads as well as the upbeat tunes. When this album came out, I was thrilled to hear Barry do an upbeat, fun album. I love the beautifully orchestrated ballads from the 70s, but this is a nice change of pace. It has a 50s kind of pop sound, but what's wrong with that? Most people either love Manilow or hate him. I personally love him and every song he's ever done. He has recorded a variety of styles over the years and sounds great on all of them! I would recommend this album to anyone who loves Barry Manilow and the 50s-60s style of music. If you don't care for his music, then don't buy it and keep your rude comments to yourself. There are plenty of artists I don't care for, but I don't go around insulting them or writting rude comments. I simply don't buy their music.

Luis Mejia - This got to be a very popular album in the UK and still a charting one in the US, it got it's singles, and yet I regret there is no findable non import CD version of this album (hope the remaster comes soon, specially after Manilow's collection of "Greatest Songs Of" and the remaster of Manilow). Even when the only sound quality I've heard of this album was the one of an LP, the songs are way too good to be stopped for that. This album got me all the way through, from top to bottom. Here Comes The Night is an excellent product of Barry Manilow's capabilities to put a collection of worthy songs on an album, where there are no highs and lows through it, something painfully notorious in his most famous works. "I Wanna Do It With You", very worthy '50s like pop rock opener. The title track blows away with the chorus melody, very beautiful, and then Cats' "Memory", I've heard better interpretations but this one is very likeable and short. Manilow's quality piano is heard better than in any other album. Going through the compelling middle section there is "Some Kind of Friend", a hit song recognizeable from the beginning, a hit providing us a rythm explosion of guitars and synth melodies (even when you start to draw conclusions about Manilow and synths, this is no over-the-top). "Getting Over Loosing You" is one of the top pieces of the album, hit material, and the popular "Stay", which got better play with the album Barry Live In Britain, providing the ballad sector with a memorable R&B Funk choruses. Apart from the powerful ballads, the album sort of falls weak with the rest of the pop rock showtunes, but luckily they don't get experimental at all. After a while of listening to his popular material, is difficult not to stay focused with the material on this album so full of potential.
