The winner of the 1985 Grammy for Pop Album of the Year, No Jacket Required found Phil Collins fully embracing horn-driven pop music, drum machines, and sentimental ballads over his previous darker and more dramatic solo material. The record established him as a major commercial force, and as one of the most recognizable voices of the 1980s. Although the major hits here, 'Sussudio,' 'One More Night,' 'Who Said I Would,' and 'Don't Lose My Number' quickly came to sound dated, the album contains several standout tracks. 'Long Long Way to Go,' which features a cameo by Sting, is one of Collins' most effective ballads, while the pulsating 'Take Me Home' utilizes the drama of 'In the Air Tonight' on a more wistful track. 'Only You Know and I Know' and 'Inside Out,' meanwhile, show an effective aggressive side to the singer. It's not a completely satisfying recording, but it is the best example of one of the most dominating and influential styles of the 1980s.
