REVIEW

REVIEW

Dream Street

3

2/4

Philadelphia, PA, USA

September 30, 1984

A small but pleasant surprise: The Jacksons' youngest sister has come up with a more consistently entertaining album than her brothers' "Victory" record.

About one-third of the album is forgettable, but for Jacksons fans a worthwhile buy.

Dream Street

Oceanside, CA, USA

October 25, 1984

Her debut album spent 52 weeks on the soul charts, and this is likely to follow.

It's a lot of fun to hear her work out with such different sorts of material and settings.

Jackson should have stayed more with the talent and advice of her brothers.

Has a few touches of the Jackson magic, but not enough to save it from mediocrity.

Minneapolis, MN, USA

Now that Jackson has "Control" of her career she simply needs to find herself as a musical personality.
