The extended break between albums had given Southside Johnny more than enough time to plot his return.BETTER DAYS boasts an impressive cast of guests–teenage heartthrob Jon Bon Jovi, the ever-present Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt, and members of the E Street Band, including Gary Tallent and Max Weinberg. The production is a touch glossier than earlier releases, but there’s no denying the wonderful Motown soul sounds of «All I Need Is You» and «It’s Been a Long Time,» while the title track is steeped in the blues. BETTER DAYS marked a solid return for Southside Johnny.

Editorial Reviews
4 Stars – Excellent – ..club-bred, full-tilt stomped- out rock & roll…it’s very much a classic Southside record..
Q (19911201)

4 Stars – Excellent – ..a resounding triumph… thick with wailing guitars and horns and fueled by a soul sensibility….a truly compelling vocalist…
