"This is the last wonderful work from "The Boy From Oz" and what a joy it is!!! The opening "Tonight You Made My Day" is Peter at his exuberant best with his voice and piano playing as alluring as ever!! The great "Making Every Moment Count" is one of the more telling song's into Peter's philosophy on life! In the twenty short years of fame being known as a great writer and performer, he accomplished so much and his body of work for such a short period of time is totally awesome and unmatched!! Those of us who were lucky to see him in live performance know that Peter Allen is certainly one of the all time greats!!! NO male performer could raise the roof like this one did and lift the audience out of theirs seats so many times in one evening like Peter did!! This wonderful collection has so many special moments in it and I love his duet with Harry Conick Jr. "When I Get My Name In Lights"~you can tell that they had great fun doing this winning duet together!! My favorite is the passionate "So Much Depends On Love Today" as this is Peter at his soulful best belting out a great love song as only he could! The closing soul-stirring athem "Love Don't Need A Reason" is moving finale to a brilliant and legendary career that ended way to soon...we love and miss you Peter!!!!"

A Moving, if uneven farewell

"This is the last album Peter Allen recorded before his death in 1992. Although not his finest work (the album is hampered by generic and cliched lyrics) there are some moving cuts that take on an added poignancy in light of his passing. "I Could Marry the Rain" in particuliar, is a standout track that you play at 3.30 in morning, when there are no more tears left to cry..."
