"...at ten tracks-long and with Phil Ramone producing once more (he produced Joel’s albums from The Stranger to The Bridge in 1986), it is an album that has plenty of quality. One of the reason why some have been mixed towards Glass Houses is because it is top-heavy. The opening five tracks are, debatably, the best. With It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me and All for Lenya in its top half, there are not many songs that reach the same sort of heights in the second half. That being said, the entire album is a satisfying listen. I do not think there are any weak tracks. There is a nice mix of obscure tracks and instant winners on Glass Houses."
