Nightline (album)

The album was produced by Tommy LiPuma; among Crawford's backing musicians were members of Toto. ==Critical reception==

The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote: "Nightline has a smooth, creamy sound that never turns mushy. For the first time, Crawford's authoritative vocals sustain a whole album, giving shape and power to pretty material. A real surprise." AllMusic called the album "a nice combination of jazzy, sophisticated ballads, a few harder-hitting numbers, and some heartache material." ==Track listing==
