5.0 out of 5 stars Bryan Adams at his best 6 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This is Bryan Adams' finest album and one that is just as enjoyable to hear now as when it came out. The production, arrangements, songwriting, singing, playing are all faultless (with the exception of the silly "Kids wanna rock"). From up-front rockers ("One night love affair", "Summer of '69", "Somebody", "It's only love") to the incredible power-ballad "Heaven" and the mid-tempo "Run to you", I can find no reason to criticise this album.
BA may be passing ungracefully into middle age, but this album is his legacy and will stand the test of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute classic. 1 May 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Most of the material released by Bryan Adams during his long career has been mediocre at best. BUT... in the mid 80s he made this album and I will always be grateful to him that he did! After 16 years of regular listening, I still love it just as much. Raw energy, unpolished production and good songs all contribute to its magic. Quite simply, this is one of the best albums ever made.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite album of all time 16 Mar 2006
Format:Audio CD
This is an all time classic and a CD that everyone should have in their collection. If all artists have one 'seminal' work, this is Bryan's. It has 10 tracks, 8 of which still feature regularly in his live set lists, and these include the Bryan Adams songs that everybody knows and loves - like 'Run to You', 'Heaven', 'Summer of 69' and 'Kids Wanna Rock'.
Despite being released in 1984 I think it is timeless and doesn't sound that dated even today, unlike some of his later stuff like Waking up the Neighbours (still a good CD but not a classic like Reckless).
For me the highlights of this album are the first two tracks, 'One night love affair' and 'She's only happy when she's dancing'. These are lesser-known to non-Bryan Adams fans but to me they are the two of the most catchy, unforgettable and brilliantly-written songs not only on this album but of his whole 25-year career.
There's nothing 'clever' about this album - it is just ten very simple, very melodic, feel-good pop/rock songs which I've never tired of listening to over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars His best ever album 21 Oct 2009
Format:Audio CD
Went to see Tina Turner in concert in 1985 and heard that Bryan Adams was supporting her. "Bryan who" I asked. The first and only gig I've been to where the support act got called back for an encore. The day after, I went out and bought Reckless and virtually wore it out. There's not a bad song on there, and obviously Summer of 69 is the absolute favourite. But the whole album is timeless - nothing on there says that it's 25 years old. Every single track is worth listening to over and over. "Heaven" had a special meaning for me, as I'm sure it has for a lot of people, but sometimes things are best left unsaid. It's still a fantastic song though. Every gig I've been to of his since 1985 has got better and better, and with Scotty on lead, they make a fantastic sound. That's not dissing the other members of the band, as they all compliment each other perfectly, but Bryan & Keith always seem as though they're just mates fooling around. If there's one album you should have in your collection - this is the one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bryan Adams' best 13 Jun 2013
By A. Sweeney TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Is there any doubt that "Reckless", Canadian rocker Bryan Adams' fourth album, is the pinnacle of his career? OK, there was the massive success of that "Everything I Do" single, but do you know anybody who still likes that song after it was UK number one for around sixteen years? Yes, yes, I know it was sixteen weeks, but at the time it felt like years. I don't know what it is about "Reckless", but everything just seems to be right about it. The songs are fantastic (co-writer Jim Vallance brought the best out of Adams), the production perfect, the performances full of energy and the whole album has a confidence and joy that he'd never managed to capture before and struggled to regain afterwards.

The singles (there were seven of them from the ten tracks, which gives it the feel of a greatest hits collection rather than a studio album) are amongst his best songs ever - the morally-dubious cheater's anthem "Run To You" is far better than the subject matter deserves (it's probably one of the greatest songs of the decade), "Summer Of '69" is a fist-poundingly joyous slice of nostalgia, "Heaven" is beautifully tender and, despite the power ballad bombast, is wonderfully romantic, passionate slice of soft rock, "One Night Love Affair" is a melodic rocker that kicks off the album with a sense of purpose, the duet with Tina Turner, "It's Only Love" has a fantastic opening riff and more balls than a sports equipment store and "Somebody" is a immensely catchy piece of pop-rock. The only single on the album I'm not overly keen on is "Kids Wanna Rock" as it seems to be the only cynically-written track to 'get the crowds going'. It's not bad, it's just not anywhere near as good as the rest of the material on the release.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Album! 3 Feb 2013
By ReviewBlog51 TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Like a lot of people, 'Reckless' was my first Bryan Adams' album and my hand downs favourite. Everything about it is perfect, from the quality production and arrangements to the impressive songwriting and the actual material. The rocking 'Summer Of 69' and the power-ballad 'Heaven' are both classics that everyone seems to know and love. But there is so much more to love on this CD, 'Run To You', 'One Night Love Affair' and 'She's Only Happy When She's Dancing' are excellent feel-good songs, catchy, hard rocking and set the tone for the rest of the album.

'Reckless' easily sits perfectly in my top 20 albums of all time, people loved it in 1984 and it still sounds just as new and exciting today. If you want to start a collection of Bryan Adams' albums or just want to have one in your collection - make it 'Reckless', his fourth solo effort and the one that made his name. It's great fun to listen to with no filler material present.

I bought the record when it came out in the 80's, still love Summer of '69, and a couple of the other songs are good, much better than his later stuff, in my opinion.
