History
After releasing his debut album in 1979 Christopher Cross posted four top - 40 hits in the U.S., including the single release Sailing. Cross won with the debut at the Grammy Awards 1981 in four categories: Album of the Year (Album Of The Year ), Single of the Year (Record Of The Year ), Song of the Year (Song Of The Year ) and Best New Artist ( Best New Artist).
For the second album Cross could be three years and was able to undertake a number of prominent guest musicians for the recordings. Despite the long period of time, the album sounds pretty much like the successful predecessor. For William Ruhlmann of Allmusic this is hardly surprising; he assumes Cross Missing Heart and soul into the production ( " No one would confuse the result with anything truly heartfelt "). Cross knew the album mostly with gentle pop sounds.
