3.0 good | Tom93M | August 8th 11 | Let's Dance is a mixed effort in every sense. It boasts three glistening pop classics early doors, but shapes up as a tedious and uncompelling record towards the end. It doesn't really feel like a Bowie album either. Nile Rodger's shiny, but terribly anachronistic production and its deliberately commercial slant make it a distant and disappointing counterpart to Bowie's incredibly unique seventies antecedents. Still, it was one of the most successful and popular albums of the eighties, and its early tracks are delightful, ultimately saving it from condemnation. But whether the album is worthwhile firmly lies in the eyes of the beholder. Picking up Let's Dance will get you a flawed and unessential, but sometimes hugely enjoyable record - its value depending on just how much you wish to put your red shoes and dance the blues.

3.5 great | charlopiano | September 6th 21 | Musically, Bowie can do no wrong in my book, but I don't think his deep haunting voice fits so well throughout these pop tracks.

3.5 great | manosg EMERITUS | January 25th 21 | Feelgood and catchy af. The first three tracks set the mood, but the rest of the album is no slouch.

3.0 good | Erwann S. STAFF | May 27th 20 | Ok so basically this is Bowie's "commercial" record, and while the first three tracks are absolute classics, the rest is banal af.

3.0 good | sugarcubes | December 9th 17 | This album's good but not really great. On par with his other 80s stuff (barring Scary Monsters)

3.5 great | lz41 | May 29th 16 | Bowie sets the joint on fire with the first 3 tracks and after that is content to just let 5 more roll off the conveyor belt. He mastered pop with "Ziggy Stardust" anyway.

3.5 great | dylantheairplane | December 14th 08 | Bowie's best.
Let's Dance is my favorite DB song forever. And this album just adds more to its greatness. Obviously Let's Dance is the best song on the album, but thankfully because its so short, theirs no BAD song on the album.
usually i hate short albums. Buts this is one great exception
