"Though he really never faded from the scene it has been awhile since he has put out a Bobby Caldwell "blue eyed soul" recording.
All I can say it was worth the wait. This could very well be his best recording ever! His originals are top notch and besides being an expert singer he is a master in the studio when it comes to his musicianship. Caldwell is able to craft perfect pitch harmonies and add great song structure and amazing hooks to all of his originals on this project. There are covers on the CD and he does justice to those as well but it just makes me livid that radio will only jump on covers and not the originals. This CD needs to be heard and Bobby deserves high praise for this stellar recording...go buy it now!!!

"I fell in love with Bobby Caldwell's voice and writing style, the moment I heard, "What You Won't Do For Love" almost thirty years ago. I've been following him ever since. I've loved much of his work, but nothing seemed to compare to "Heart of Mine." That is, until "Perfect Island Nights." Like "Heart of Mine," it's one of the few CDs im my collection that won't let me skip over a single track. It's that good. Bobby can wear his heart on his sleeve like no other. He teeters at times on the edge of cliche, but he never crosses that line. His arrangements are impeccable. And his harmonies rival artists like the Beach Boys and Chicago. If this CD were an LP, I would have worn it out already.

AOR/WESTCOAST FLAVOUR

"Every home shoulda have one!!!
Like the title of an excellent album of the Patti Austin's golden era.
Bobby is back with a not jazzy production!
This is for real AOR/Westcoast-oriented flavour.
Just listen to the opening gem " IN THE AFTERLIFE" and you'll discover the pleasure of the good vibration at his best.
The following tracks are pure delight and softness!!!
BRAVO BOBBY, DO IT AGAIN!!!"
His best

"In my opinion it's Caldwell's best album. He sounds fantastic, the songs are vintage Bobby Caldwell and the production is first rate. I can't stop listening to this album."
