Donna Summer's return to glory and steadily building comeback lost precious ground with this album, a symptom of what went wrong with her Geffen albums. It wasn't aggressive rock, entertaining pop, or rhythmically exciting dance/disco. Instead, it was an indecisively sung, poorly produced collection of pop/rock clichés and superficial songs. It did contain one nice song in her cover of Brenda Russell's "Dinner with Gershwin," but she couldn't build from that number.

Ron Wynn - All Music Guide



Shadows and lights for the most anticipated Donna Summer album of the 80's. In ALL SYSTEMS GO Donna appears strikingly doubtful which path to take. She goes back working with Harold Faltermeyer (who had arranged BAD GIRLS, ON THE RADIO and THE WANDERER) and at the same time she tries not to lose touch with the latest trends. She explores ultra sophisticated cool-jazz surroundings and doesn't realize that, elsewhere, she gets entangled in second-rate techno dance arrangements. She runs across tunes that are either really bad (BAD REPUTATION, LOVE SHOCK) or incomparably good (FASCINATION, VOICES CRYING OUT). She performs a great duet with Mickey Thomas of Starship and gets help, but just for one song (DINNER WITH GERSHWIN), by legendary producer Richard Perry. Predictably, the outcome is a puzzling one: ALL SYSTEMS GO sounds more like a strange assembling of three different records than an album with an identity of its own.
