FAIRLY DECENT
The title tract is the big save on this album!!. This album is litteraly a solo effort from Mr Ronold Isley,nonetheless fairly decent. It is soothing, forceful & romantic. I love it!. Angella Winbush is all over this album from start to finish. Other noteable songs include "you'll never walk alone","real woman"&"one of a kind". This effort is not thier very best, but still worth giving a listening ear to. I suggest this album to hardcore Isley fans only. For the curious,give it a ear, you may love it to an extent!!!.


Pretty Good Set Hit&Miss
this Album doesn't match there 70's work or "Mission to Please". this Isley Brother Album was alright but reflected the Sound&Vibe of the times. Ronald Isley got His Groove back as Mr. Biggs&thank goodness because while He sounded really well on this Set alot of the material here had the Isley's headed toward a fast dive. the title track&Ronald Isley's vocals save this Album.


Is the thrill really gone?
It is however a reasonably decent (if a bit trite) attepmt at the kind of elegant sould-R&B music the group usaed to make before the Isley-Jasper-Isley split in '84. "Spend The Night" is hardly a good album when compared to the stellar work the Isleys did in the 1970s. Angela Winbush's production tends to be a bit sparse and synth-heavy, but the total effect is classy, if a bit dated nowdays. Lyrics are a sore spot, especially on the second half of the album. Overall, unless you really love the stellar title track, or the equally good "You'll Never Walk Alone," you would be better served to buy the Isleys earlier work, an Angela Winbush album (where the same themes are repeated and done much better), or the mid '90s smash "Mission to Please," which marks the real returm of guitar virtuoso Ernie Isley to the mix.
