Night Moves was in the pipeline when
Live Bullet hit, and wound up eclipsing the double live set anyway, so
Stranger in Town is really the record where
Bob Seger started grasping the changes that happened when he became a star. It happened when he was old enough to have already formed his character. Even as celebrity creeps in, as on
"Hollywood Nights," Seger remains a middle-class, Midwestern rocker, celebrating
"Old Time Rock & Roll," realizing old flames are still the same, and still feeling like a number. Musically, it's as lively as
Night Moves, rocking even harder in some places and being equally as introspective in the acoustic numbers. If it doesn't feel as revelatory as that record, in many ways it does feel like a stronger set of songs. Yes, musically, it doesn't offer any revelations, but it still feels impassioned, both in its performances and songs, and it's still one of the great
rock records of its era. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
