  • Overall:

    Perfect

    By nathalie44ch  Jun 25, 2001

    I love this album, and now I want to buy the Millenium edition.
    I hope that the next one would be perfect too.
    I would like to have the texts of all songs but it is very hard to find it on the net.

  • Overall:

    GREAT!

    This album is great! Bruce is not only a talented actor but a talented singer as well. You go Bruce!

Pro Reviews: Return of Bruno

  • All Music Guide

    At the height of Moonlighting mania and after the Seagram's wine cooler commercials showcased his vocal skills, Motown asked Bruce Willis to record a full album of blues, RB and soul -- hence, The Return of Bruno. Willis has more vocal talent than, say, Cybill Shepherd, but he doesn't quite have the conviction or skill of the Blues Brothers. Often, it's difficult to hear him strain for notes on familiar items like "Under the Boardwalk," "Young Blood" and "Respect Yourself," but that same limited talent makes the ready-made originals "Jackpot," "Down in Hollywood" and "Flirtin' With Disaster" appealing kitsch. And, really, The Return of Bruno isn't anything more than a kitsch artifact -- Willis may deeply believe he has vocal talent, but the album stands more as a testament to the excesses of Reagan-era celebrity and baby boomer nostalgia than as a piece of music.
