4.0 out of 5 stars Pop Heaven!, May 2, 2001
Sheena Easton recorded her most American-sounding album to date with 1984's "A Private Heaven." "Strut," and "Sugar Walls" (written by Prince) both made the U.S. top ten. But the best song here is the exquisite ballad, "Hard To Say It's Over," which should have been the set's third single, instead of the awkward "Swear." On the remake of Joan Armatrading's "Love and Affection," Easton displays a vocal range that few singers today can match. Other highlights include the jazzy "Back In The City," the Steve Luthaker-penned ballad, "All By Myself," and "Double Standard," an energetic slice of dance-pop that would sound right at home on any of Madonna's 80's albums. This is definitely a must-have for any fan of Easton or 80's music in general!

5.0 out of 5 stars If your a fan of 80's music you'll love this!, May 6, 2004
By A Customer
This is a great cd for a fan of 80's music. The top 40 hit's "strut" and "sugar walls", both written by Prince make this cd worth the purchase. Other stand out tracks include "swear" and "double standard". Sheena has a great voice and almost all the tracks on this cd are great. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heaven On Earth, May 12, 2000
By A Customer
This is one of Sheena Easton's great albums and the addition of bonus tracks makes it even better. From the racy "Sugar Walls" to the tender "Hard to Say It's Over" to her fabulous cover "Love & Affection", this one has it all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad
Like someone else said, Sheena was known for her singles, not her albums as a whole. The sassy "Strut" and the sexy oriental sounding "Sugar Walls" make up for the fillers. Read more
