It's Only Love: 1980-1984 follows the pattern of JCI's It's Only series, offering a seemingly random collection of 20 hits from a given genre or style for a period of five years. These songs weren't necessarily the biggest hits of these five years, although there are a number of classics and smashes here. It may be hard to deduce exactly why these songs were chosen -- especially since the compilers apparently define the "love" genre as anything vaguely romantic, musically or lyrically -- but the end results are nevertheless quite entertaining. All of the songs are featured in their original hit versions, not remakes, which isn't always the case with midline collections. Furthermore, there a few cuts that aren't easy to find on other collections or even greatest-hits albums, which means it's interesting to collectors as well as casual fans. Most importantly, each volume captures the feeling of the era, even if it's missing several big hits, and that's what makes the series a nice introductory overview for curious listeners. Among the highlights on It's Only Love 1980-1984 are REO Speedwagon's "Keep on Loving You," Foreigner's "Waiting for a Girl Like You," Captain & Tennille's "Do That to Me One More Time," Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin'," Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen," the Cars' "Drive," Larry Graham's "One in a Million You," Ambrosia's "Biggest Part of Me," Patti Austin & Peabo Bryson's "Baby, Come to Me," Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing," the Motels' "Only the Lonely," Rupert Holmes' "Him," Karla Bonoff's "Personally," Christopher Cross' "Sailing," and Air Supply's "All Out of Love." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
