AMG Review of Working Class Dog [25th Anniversary Edition]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

Forget that Rick Springfield was a soap star for a moment and listen to his music, because he made some of the finest guitar-driven mainstream pop/rock of the early '80s. Working Class Dog is his finest moment, filled with expertly crafted pop songs and highlighted by the massive hit "Jessie's Girl." [The 2006 25th Anniversary Edition features three bonus tracks.]
