Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
1979 - The Long Run is a bitter, wrathful, difficult record, full of piss and vinegar and poisoned expectations.
-
Louder Sound
2018 - Some think it's a great record. Others have described it as "turning throwaway, half-baked songs into an art form". Either way, in America, it was the last number one album of the 70s – a fitting way for the Eagles’ imperial phase to end.

Classic Rock Review
2014 - This diverse album certainly has its share of variety, especially when it comes to the lead vocals where four of the five band members took their turn up front.
-
All Music
2016 - Three years in the making (which was considered an eternity in the '70s), the Eagles' follow-up to the massively successful, critically acclaimed Hotel California was a major disappointment, even though it sold several million copies and threw off three hit singles.
-
The Spokesman Review
2015 - The whole thing feels like a retread of “Hotel California,” especially the songs tsk-tsk-ing Tinsel Town excess (“The Disco Strangler,” “King of Hollywood”), but it was a massive success anyway.
