"This is an amazing record and shows the incredible talent of John Sykes. It is certainly a change of pace and I admire him for taking a risk. An all ballad album sounds odd but it truly works. Every song is incredible, intense and full of emotion. You will be blown away."
Masterpiece!

"This is what you get if ballads are done by John Sykes - wonderful! Not a typical ballad, these songs really touched my heart. He's done a great job on "Don't Hurt Me This Way", brought back Phil Lynott...And "Don't Say Goodbye" is sad, but still a great ballad. I loved every single one of songs in this album! Besides being talented guitarist, he has a great voice and wonderful song writing talent. I wish he would make more album like this."
YOU HAVE TO LOVE JOHN TO LIKE LOVELAND

"When I first saw this album at Amazon I was surprised to see an album of ballads coming from John Sykes. I will admit it took some time for me to convince myself to order it. Now that I own it I will share with you my perspective. First things first, this is definetly a collection of ballads. They have a variety of flavors though. The styles range from 70's, to very piano oriented, to Beatle-esqe, to the beloved Blue Murder style, to the heavily orchestrated. One thing is consistant here though, John's vocals and his guitars are great. The songs are well written, but sometimes missing. Overall, I would recommend it to those who are fans of his, and if your not familiar with Sykes but are looking for a good album to relax around the house to.....well this could be it. Bright spots include "haunted", "everything I need", and "till the day I die"."
