Behind the Mask
Behind the Mask is the fifteenth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in 1990. It was the first album released by the band after the departure of guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. He was replaced by Billy Burnette and Rick Vito, both guitar players, singers and songwriters. Fleetwood Mac thus became a six-piece band with four singer/songwriters. -Wikipedia

Never less than pleasant, but never of the calibre of the work of the previous lineup, either.

Sputnik Music
The first album since the band's 1975 self-titled effort without Lindsey Buckingham, and it certainly shows.

WL Swarts Reviews the Universe
A very narrow "recommend," just because when it does take chances, it seems to succeed.
-
People Weekly
Stately sort of pop rock that ranges from ponderous to movingly effective.
-
Blog Critics
Very good in places but is not among the better Fleetwood Mac pop releases. Its place in the group’s catalogue is that of a filler album.
-
Pop Dose
A slickly produced collection of mostly lite-FM-ready pseudo rockers, what suffered the most on this album was the quality of Stevie Nicks’ work
-
EW
The songs hardly add up to an album; the six musicians hardly add up to Fleetwood Mac.
-
Seattle PI
Vito and Burnette create some excellent, if out of place material. It all added up to a somewhat disjointed release.
-
Slacker
Most of the material is quite forgettable.

The album is not bad but didn’t measure up to the group’s best pop work.
