With classical pianist Kevin Savigar established as his songwriting partner, Rod Stewart marched into the mid-'80s in finer shape than he'd been in for a few years. Every Beat of My Heart was his 15th solo album and, after the disappointments of the preceding Body Wishes and Camouflage, the wistful romance of the title track alone suggested that he was back on track.

Unfortunately, it was not to be. One could compile a genuinely excellent collection from across Stewart's entire '80s output. But Every Beat of My Heart, like the LPs on either side of it, found him floundering directionless in a sea of, on the one hand, syrupy schmaltz; and, on the other, clich‚d rockers, with just the occasional flash of style sneaking in, to remind us why we even cared any longer. "Love Touch'," which joins "Every Beat" in the singles chart (courtesy of its starring role in the movie Legal Eagles) was certainly one of the weakest numbers he had ever touched, while the likes of "Here to Eternity" and "Another Heartache" might have been tolerable if Stewart hadn't already recorded them a dozen times already. But his version of the Beatles' "In My Life" is beautiful, as heartfelt as he ever sounded and, again the title track is equally remarkable. It's just that two songs out of ten really isn't a good return on the price of an album. ~ Dave Thompson

Featuring a set of amazingly vapid material -- led by the empty Top Ten hit "Love Touch" -- and an embalmed, mechanical production, Rod Stewart is the worst album the singer recorded. After a series of faceless albums, it's not surprising that the record was uninspired; what was surprising was the utter lack of convincing popcraft. The highlights of the album, "Love Touch" and "Every Beat of My Heart," were the singles but they lacked the well-constructed precision of "Some Guys Have All the Luck," "Infatuation," and "Baby Jane," which leaves Rod Stewart a soulless, and ultimately depressing, album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
