11. Stay With Me (Love Lights, 2001)
“Peter Cetera is one of my favorites. I totally enjoy this album. He has a fabulous voice. He was a great addition to Chicago.”
10. You’re the Inspiration (You’re the Inspiration: A Collection, 1997)
“This is really good stuff. I would like to have the original versions here, but a couple of these new arrangements are more than worthwhile.”
9. Have You Ever Been In Love (World Falling Down, 1992)

7. You Are My Everything (You Are My Everything, 1997)
“This is a decent ballad, but it’s perhaps a tad too sappy. It’s still one of his best solo records, but Chicago didn’t muster up a lot of good pop songs without him either. Chicago needed Cetera and Cetera needed Chicago.”
6. Only Love Knows Why (Solitude/Solitaire, 1986)
“A trip back to 80’s MTV music, not my favorite genre, but he does it well. I got the mp3 because I just saw him in concert and that was awesome, much better than this CD which is heavy on electronic music.”

5. (I Wanna Take) Forever Tonight (One Clear Voice, 1995)
“If you’re a fan of Chicago, Peter Cetera, or adult contemporary you need to listen to this album. Once again Cetera’s golden voice mixed with lifting lyrics creates another great album celebrating romance, and love.”

4. One Good Woman (One More Story, 1988)
“One Good Woman by Peter Cetera is an alluring romantic song about the singer expressing the ways that a good woman enriches his life. I’m guessing that this song symbolizes both a close and rewarding romantic relationship (whether the couple is unmarried or married).”
3. The Next Time I Fall (Solitude/Solitaire, 1986)
“The opening (probably synthesized) string bit works really well, and the singers pull off the duet with surprising aplomb. Yeah, the whole concept is confusing (I’ll fall in love with YOU next time!), but I’d rather hear this one than most of the other ballads that hit the top ten in ’86.”

2. After All (Heart of Stone, 1989)
“There is no doubt that this guy became the voice of “Chicago” for many years and was under-appreciated. He does just fine on his own.”
1. Glory of Love (Solitude/Solitaire, 1986)
“The last career retrospective that Peter Cetera released was 1997’s You’re the Inspiration, but the singles included on that album were rerecorded, and “Glory of Love,” the theme song from the film The Karate Kid Part II and one of the biggest hits and music videos of the 1980s, was glaringly omitted.”
