STEEL WHEELS
Steel Wheels is the 19th British and 21st American studio album by The Rolling Stones, released in 1989. Heralded as a major comeback upon its release, the project is notable for the patching up of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards' relationship, a reversion to a more classic style of music and the launching of the band's biggest world tour at the time. It is also long-time bassist Bill Wyman's final full-length studio album with the Stones, preceding the announcement of his departure in January 1993. Wyman's final tenure with the band would be on two studio tracks for 1991's Flashpoint. -Wikipedia

Rolling Stone
Steel Wheels rocks with a fervor that renders the Stones’ North American tour an enticing prospect indeed
-
All Music
a self-styled reunion album. It often feels as if they sat down and decided exactly what their audience wanted from a Stones album
-
Keno's ROLLING STONES Web Site
There are several weak songs on this album, but since they improved their sound since this came out, let me just end this on that good note.
-
Shabby Road
a satisfying comeback, if not exactly a true return to form
-
Clem's Music Reviews
it's worlds above their last two albums Dirty Work and Undercover
-
Mark's Album Reviews
Low-grade dog food.
-
Don Ignacio
Steel Wheels is one the weakest albums they've ever released
-
Adrian's Music Reviews
surely an album a hard-core Stones fantatic would find hard to resist
-
The Guardian
A comeback of sorts, this set the template for latterday Stones albums: solid rather than amazing, a few decent tracks, some obvious filler, the odd lunge for contemporaneity
-
Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
satisfying for fans who couldn't get enough of the 70s Stones records in the first place
-
Only Solitaire
Cut the hype, cut the anti-hype, and you're left with a moderately solid effort, and a good start for their Big Return
-
John McFerrin Music Reviews
the band created a sort of "career retrospective" that, if nothing else, PROVES just how diverse the band has been over the years
-
Record Collector magazine
isn’t exactly a classic, it at least occasionally revisits touchstones from the glorious past
