All Music Guide - Mike DeGagne
Frontiers managed to give Journey four Top 40 hits, with "After the Fall" and "Send Her My Love" both reaching number 23, "Faithfully" at number 12, and "Separate Ways" peaking at number eight -- the same amount that 1981's Escape brandished.

An overabundance of Jonathan Cain's synth work cloaks the quicker tunes and seeps into the ballads, slightly widening the strong partnership of Perry and Schon. "Faithfully" tried to match the powerful beauty of "Open Arms," and while it's a gorgeous ballad, it just comes inches away from conjuring up the same soft magic. "Separate Ways" grabs attention right off the bat with stinging synthesizer and a catchy guitar riff, and "Send Her My Love" emphasizes Perry's keen ability to pour his heart out. The rest of the songs on the album lack the warmth that Journey is famous for, especially in their mix of fervor and intimacy shown on this album's predecessor.

    Journey the way we know & love it!

    I 1st heard this album way back in '83 when I was just 10 years old ---- the moment I heard Steve Perry's voice belting "Here we stand Worlds apart, hearts broken in two .." coupled with Neal Schon's guitar artistry, the Journey sound pounded its way into my heart and has been there ever since. [Of course, that doesn't apply to the "re-invented" minus-Perry so-called "Journey" of recent years]
