The album marked a brief comeback for the singer, led by the top 20 single "Star".[4] It was her only album on Ariola Records and reached No.47 on the UK album charts.[5] The title track was also released, peaking at No.66.[4] Two further singles were released; "Midnight Flyer" and "Loving You is Sweeter Than Ever" (a duet with Elton John). The album was produced by Pip Williams. The album was re-released in 2008 on Compact disc with four bonus tracks. These included "Give It Up", which had been released as a single in Japan in 1980 and was the B-side to "Star".[6] Allmusic gave the album a highly positive review (despite it awarding it just two stars) saying that the album had "great substance" and was "a real gem worth hearing anytime and anyplace",[7] while Record Collector magazine said that on the album "she sings like [a star], treating highly-produced numbers such as the title track, roadhouse raunchers such as 'Midnight Flyer' and a slowed-down 'Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever' (duetting with her pal Elt) with soul and panache".[8] Opening track "Star" was later used as the opening theme for TV's Opportunity Knocks between 1987 and 1990.[9] The song "Star" was planned to appear in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V on the "Los Santos Rock Radio" station, but was removed from the final version of the game. The Song "Star" was used by Debenhams as part of their Christmas Advert 2018[10] with the tagline “do a bit of you know you did good”. Among the musicians playing on this album, we find keyboardist Patrick Moraz of Yes and The Moody Blues and Steve Holley of Paul McCartney's Wings. Track listingSide One
