After the blandness of Rompin' & Stompin',[ citation needed ]Rock the Night fared considerably better. This was due in part to having fellow veteran musicians such as Carr and Porter, who are "as wild as Walker, but less wayward." [2] The "tethering" of Walker by the others leads to some fun moments. [2] That does not mean that they performed flawlessly, though, since reviewer Chris Smith comments how "Hide Way" "has so many wrong notes that it's almost a new composition", and that other songs also get "a thorough mauling."
