Though it lacks a truly great selection of songs,
Tonight I'm Yours
is a fine latter-day effort from
Rod Stewart
, and one of the last records that makes
Rod
sound like he's hip. Sporting a shiny
new wave
production,
has a sleek, professional sound that can make even mindless rave-ups like
"Tora, Tora, Tora (Out With the Boys)"
a guilty pleasure. But the key to the album lies in songs like
"Tonight I'm Yours"
and the haunting
"Young Turks,"
where
sounds totally at ease with a
synth pop
beat. They are some of the best examples of mainstream
rock
co-opting the nervy, quirky appeal of
, and they make
an enjoyable, if lightweight, listen. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
