For one of the more notable L.A. metal bands, Dokken's beginnings were rather humble compared to other debuts of the era. It's not the lack of direction or identity as much as the fact that the band members would simply get better at writing memorable songs and perhaps that Jeff Pilson (who contributed to the majority of the band's songs thereafter) was not yet around. Musically, Dokken's style was rooted in the more recent moments of Judas Priest and Scorpions as well as the original Sunstrip band Van Halen which makes them a bit heavier than the average first-wave glam band. However, Don Dokken's mellow, soaring vocals, the band's penchant for vocal harmonies and, depending on the perspective, either brooding and bland or dark and sophisticated love-related lyrics never gave the band that important reputation for being dangerous bad boys like Mötley Crüe or pure fun like Poison.

It's an interesting album for a debut, the title track stands out as the best on the album, followed by Paris is Burning, other good songs that deserve a mention: Live To Rock (Rock To Live) Nightrider and Young Girls, the other tracks aren't bad but overall they're rather average.
