Not one of his bests.......2007-03-02

I've only really heard three of Billy Ocean's albums, but this is probably not his best. Billy Ocean was one of my favorite singers back in the early '80's, so I may enjoy this album more than others. His popular ballad, "The Colour Of Love", is one of the better hits, but I think I like "Here's To You" better. "Here's To You" has better lyrics, more positive than "The Colour Of Love", and the rhythm sounded just a little more like a tender ballad. "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car" was a song that was popular on the radio back then, but seems a little silly to listen to these days. As a whole, this album disappoints a bit, but isn't too bad. Perhaps with a couple more hits on this album, it would have been one worth keeping for the long run.

perfect album!!.......2006-10-09

Billy Ocean such as many other great artist , get so little recognition but these are the artist who actually paved the way for people r kelly and babyface , I suggest this album by far great when u in the mood with just that special person. I still listen to it till this day and play it like it was just new again!

This album is Awesome!.......2005-09-11

Wow, this album is off the chain. Probably the best 80's music I've ever heard. Billy Ocean is very underated, and this is definitely his best album. Every song is dynamite, and the production is fantastic. Buy the darn thing, its excellent feel good music and you won't be disappointed.

Great R&B!.......2005-02-24

Like 1984's SUDDENLY and 1986's LOVE ZONE,this album,released in February 1988,spawned four hits. They are the title track,the love ballads THE COLOR OF LOVE and HERE'S TO YOU,and the powerful-sounding GET OUTTA MY DREAMS GET INTO MY CAR. The other songs are good. I like STAND AND DELIVER also. I never saw the 1988 film starring Lou Diamond Phillips so I don't know if that song appeared in the film. The other songs are great. Billy Ocean put out a dozen hits in the five-year period in which this album and the two predecessors were released. After this album,Ocean would start slowing down recording. Two more hits followed this album,LICENSE TO CHILL and I SLEEP BETTER(IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BED) which appeared new on the GREATEST HITS album,released in 1989.

Excellent album to follow Love Zone!.......2004-11-07

This Billy Ocean album is still one of my favorites! For him to follow the very successful Love Zone album with this platinum album is an understatement. The big hits were Get Out of My Dreams, The Colour of Love, and Tear Down These Walls, but they're no contest to my favorites here. They are the grooving Gun For Hire and the rumbling Pleasure. Some other songs I like are Soon as You're Ready, Calypso Girl, and Because of You. But Gun is still strong today with that superb horn section, the danceable rhythms and other aspects. I played that song over and over on the tape in 1988! One of 1988's best albums to be released in at a time when 1987 songs and albums were number one hits in May, June and the summer of '88.
