AMG Review of River of Dreams
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideJoel has reached middle age and he is still restless and angry. Fortunately, this results in some fine, adventurous music, making River of Dreams his strongest effort since The Nylon Curtain. Joel explores all of his favorite musical territory on this album, reaching back to doo wop, moving through Beatlesque pop, toward his trademark balladry.
