Summary: After 25 years, this album -- maybe surprisingly -- grows on you.
Comment: After 25 years I get the album better now than I did as a Steely Dan fan in college. It's really the voice of a 40-something remembering his adolescence and young adulthood in the 50s and 60s.
Fagan's lyrics and vocals are funny, ironic but also really heart-on-the-sleeve wistful in ways I never heard when I was a kid. The music holds up, too -- better than I would have expected, and arguably better than late Dan (certainly better than the whiny "Gaucho").
The sound is kind of a surrealistic time capsule -- some of the finest musicians on the planet (Jeff Porcaro, Valerie Simpson, Larry Carlton, the Brecker Bros. etc.) playing ultra-slick 1982 arrangements to lyrics gently poking fun at the 50s beat generation. The saxophone solo on "Maxine" (Michael Brecker I think) by itself is worth the price of admission.

Summary: Absolutely classic
Comment: I agree....this album is an all-time winner, totally enjoyable, and should be in everyone's rock/jazz collection......

Summary: Never Gets Old - Only Better
Comment: Obviously there are SO many of us who hold this masterpiece in high esteem.
Needless to say, although referring to the 50's - it was a product that was years ahead of its time.
My son (now 13) will surely grow to love this classic. He grew up listening to it and other SD classics and never really thought about it.
And I am almost emotional when I say...it is, by far, my favorite piece of music.

Summary: THIS IS WHY GOD MADE DVD-AUDIO!
Comment: If you have not heard this record in DVD-Audio, go out right now and by a DVD-Audio player, buy this recording in the DVD-Audio format, and listen to the best surround-sound music mix ever done. When released on CD, "The Nightfly" became one of the most respected recordings ever done, period. In DVD-Audio, it is the Holy Grail. Great songs, great arrangements. great playing, great recording. In a world full of mediocrity, it's good to have Donald Fagen and "The Nightfly" in DVD-Audio to restore your faith in humankind.

Summary: not a bad cut on it...
Comment: I played the LP of this into the ground so my recent CD purchase was long over due. This disc is a treat most anytime but especially if you need a lift. The last cut, Walk Between Raindrops, is particularly good...

Editorial Reviews:

Donald Fagen's 1982 solo debut extends the sleek, smart pop craft of his work with Steely Dan into the realm of the concept album, taking the Dan's penchant for intricate plotting, evocative narrative voices, and allusive imagery to the logical next step. Fagen's connective thread is futurist nostalgia for the "New Frontier" as anticipated from the prosperous vantage point of late-'50s America. He romanticizes a brave new world of technology in the sultry diorama of "I.G.Y.," celebrating the coming glories of the Atomic Age. He then filters that view through his own suburban adolescence--a would-be seduction in a fallout shelter, the siren song of a graveyard-shift jazz DJ, a not-quite-hard-boiled noir adventure ("The Goodbye Look") that borrows its title from an early '60s Ross MacDonald mystery. Song for song, the set's a stunner and stands apart from Steely Dan thanks to a unique, poignant romanticism embodied in Fagen's yearning "Maxine" and a creamy update of Dion & the Belmonts' "Ruby Baby." --Sam Sutherland
