A masterpiece of female-fronted AOR. This is the essence of 1983 westcoast/AOR at it's best.Every track is great and if you're a fan of Toronto, Marilyn Martin, Heart or just good melodic rock then this is a must have. 95/100

Totally agree with Kim HP really a Great album!

I disagree with this comment. This is not a Masterpiece in my opinion, very LiteAOR to my taste but itīs a Very Good LiteAOR/Westcoast somehow. "Radio Silence" and "One of a Crowd" are my favorite tracks. 8.5/10

Sharon O'Neill is not a name that is synonymous with the world of AOR in general, but this, her 4th album, is an absolute pearler and pretty much a master class in early/mid 80's AOR. 'Radio Lover', the pompy 'Hearts On The Run' and the lovely ballad 'Take The Fall' are 3 superb examples of what this disc has to offer. It really is surprising that, with songs as good as these (let's not forget the high standards of other 7 either), this album isn't mentioned more often in AOR circles than it is, as it's easily on par with her peers of the time, Pat Benatar, Tane Cain, Teri DeSario and Stevie Nicks included. It may have been somewhat hard to track down on CD in the past, but as of 2013, it is included as part of the 'Original Album Classics' box set series, along with Sharon's first 3 albums {which all have their moments too}. Superb in a word and an essential addition to your collection.
