Reviews
"Springsteen reclaims his song that became Patti Smith's most commercially successful number 'Because the Night' with grace and brooding sensuality.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Big, bold, vibrantly coloured and laced with sweeping chorus hooks and towering middle eights. In a word, spectacular.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "The sound of 20 years of classic American pop filtered through one extraordinary performer....It's a fascinating insight into Bruce's habit of honing and tweaking his material, trying out all manner of variations."
