3 Stars - Good - "...may yet prove to be the greatest evocation of Springsteen's vision, laden as equally with childhood memories and first sex as with life's current disillusions and stale sex....the title track is impossibly beautiful...", Ranked #86 in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Albums of the Eighties" Survey (November 1989) ., "...THE RIVER's got cars, girls, sex, unemployment and alcohol; when you've got a hot band behind you, making all that stuff resonate, well, brother, that's called rock'n'roll.", "It Remains His Most Eclectic Offering, Rooted in Recession-Era Fables of Troubled Times..."

Expansive double set found the Boss balancing somber character studies with plenty of wiry, joyous rock & roll.
