    Rodgers wears his now mellower, less macho persona well on Coming Home and Photo Shooter, but the writing input of an Andy Fraser or a Mick Ralphs, say, is sometimes missed. [Nov 2023, p.86]

    The best parts of Midnight Rose are scattered throughout, which thankfully diminishes the impact of its weaker moments.

    What it lacks is a pulse-quickening ‘showcase track’ – a Fire And Water, a Mr Big, a Running With The Pack, a Burning Sky… a (to continue the 12 o’clock theme) Midnight Moonlight, even. It’s all rather countrified and subdued. [Oct 2023, p.84]

    The eight songs of Midnight Rose range from serviceable to cringeworthy. [Oct 2023, p.33]
