5.0 out of 5 stars This album is unbeatable!, April 22, 2000

This album is just awesome; full of great songs. "All for Love" "tonight You're Mine", "Sleep With Me" and "It Hurts Too Much" are very strong, excellent songs. They are what good rock music is all about. The rest of the album is also very consistent and enjoyable. Not one bad song here. Carmen is a great writer and singer, such an underrated talent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite the Raspberries, but not Barry Manilow either, February 28, 2003

This review is from: Tonight You're Mine (Audio CD)

Once I had picked up all four of the Raspberries albums at used record stores over the years, I began to concentrate on finding Eric Carmen's three solo albums. I located Eric Carmen, Boats Against The Current and Change Of Heart fairly easily, and just thought it ended there. Imagine my surprise at finding this one in a cut-out bin for a dollar several years later. While I had the greatest respect for Eric as a writer and a singer, I had pretty much resigned myself to his slide from a top-notch rocker with the Raspberries to the smoother, almost easy listening crooner on his solo albums. Then I got this album home. Tonight You're Mine turned out to be the closest thing to a rock album that Eric ever made as a solo artist. There are two songs I'd consider somewhat clinkers, Inside Story and You Need Some Lovin', but they're not so bad that they drag the really choice stuff down, and not so bad that they're unlistenable. All For Love is a great lite rocker, with Eric switching gears as deftly as he did in his Raspberries heyday, while It Hurts Too Much also holds it's ground well. A surprise favorite from the album was Sleep With Me. I was never much on schmaltzy ballads, but something about this song struck a chord with me. (It probably had something to do with the fact that my girlfriend at the time liked it also.) The title track is the one that kills me. On Tonight You're Mine, is it my imagination or did Eric just rewrite Go All The Way for the sleazier, disco weary, late '70's/early '80's? It's like the girl from Go All The Way has grown up to be something of a tramp. It fits in perfectly with a lot of what I remember from this time period. (Some of it all too well.) Overall, this album turned out to be a pleasant surprise, even more so because I hadn't even known it existed when I found it. I was lucky enough to have recently picked up a copy at auction and like many of the Japanese re-releases, it sounds fantastic.

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthy addition to any CD collection, May 30, 2009

This review is from: Tonight You're Mine (Audio CD)

As an ardent fan of Eric Carmen's solo work, as well as his work with The Raspberries I find this CD to be very enjoyable with a few lyrical surprises when you consider the year it was released. The title track is very well written, composed and performed and should have charted higher than it did. If you think Eric Carmen and think ballads, you should give a listen to "Foolin' Myself". The passion and conviction with which it is sung, tugs at one's heartstrings and can make one teary-eyed!

Though this was released in 1980, the melodies, lyrics and vocal presentation stand the test of time!
