This album is one of Frey's best solo albums. This is not faint praise by any measure. After all, Frey has the most featured voice on the best selling album in human history. Unlike some of his albums in the mid-1980s, No Fun Alound has a consistent sound. Many of the works on these album have a blues-inspired feel that should be comfortable to fans of Glenn from the early 1970s. For what it's worth, this album is generally superior to fellow Eagle Henley's first solo album. Glenn works with many artiest that he colloaborated with during the Eagles-era including Jim Ed Norman, Jack Tempchin, and Bob Seger. Commonly mentioned stand outs on this album include "The One You Love" and "Partytown." I particularly like the last two tracks (She Can't Let Go and Don't Give Up). This album was not as commercially succuessful as some of its contemporaries since it did not pander to the faddish modernism of some other artists. There are a few songs that had modern touches but only upon a base that is solidly Frey's signature of R&B.
