Critic Reviews
Show All-
Louder Sound
It’s a solid, consistent album but lacking a spark of genius.
-
John McFerrin Music Reviews
It's a looong way from here to "Speed King," I'll tell you what.
-
Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
If you liked the early 70s albums there's no reason to shy away from this one.

Ultimate Classic Rock
Deep Purple’s long-anticipated comeback, following a nine-year hiatus, 'Perfect Strangers' was well worth the wait, simultaneously drawing upon the group’s signature sound while modernizing it for the '80s

Only Solitaire
Pretty weak, for a comeback: not a catastrophe, but nowhere as invigorating as you'd like.

Rolling Stone
1985 - For a moment, you almost wonder why Purple ever faded away in the first place. Until, that is, you hear the rest of the album.
-
All Music
It is one of the better examples of a reunion album
-
Metal Storm
what a great album!! certainly one of the top 5 albums of Deep Purple. Every member of the band makes one of the best performances in their career in this album.

Ear of Newt
2018 - The majority of tunes on Perfect Strangers are fast-paced rockers in the best Purple tradition

Mike Ladano
If you like Deep Purple, but do not own Perfect Strangers, then I advise that you remedy that situation at your earliest convenience.

People
1985 - This is a more mature band, putting out what is with a couple of exceptions a lukewarm, lax effort.

Nobody plays hard rock with this kind of passion and hunger, not to mention their virtuosity and indebtedness to classical music, just for money.
