Critiques / Reviews :
- "Palmer is one of the most dynamic blue-eyed soul singers in popular music, and this LP finally captures that passionate level he achieves in live performance. His arresting, raspy vocal style attains new highs on 'Secrets', as this is his most fully realized album yet. Palmer's sound, which melds soul, rock and reggae styles, is totally irresistible on this LP. For a variety of formats." (Cash Box)
- "With each album Palmer has come closer to hitting the rock/pop mainstream but never has he been more on the bull's-eye than with this album. Palmer's distinctive style encompassing blends of R&B, pop, rock all meld into a cohesive and accessible musical form. In addition to his own material, Palmer interprets Todd Rundgren's 'Can We Still Be Friends', Moon Martin's 'Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)' and other covers. Palmer's singing is razor sharp and expressive and the playing by Palmer's band rocks solidly. The production, like the albums' contents, is clean and intelligent. Solid band backup." (Billboard)
- "They say Peter Frampton is back. Who's that? On the other hand, Robert Palmer is back, having shaken off the bad karma attached to his previous album, the disastrous 'Double Fun'. Now Palmer, as opposed to Frampton, is worthy of some attention. He's England's version of Hall and Oates, an exceptional vocalist who usually surrounds himself with more than capable sidemen. On Secrets, Palmer steers away from anything too saccharin or too funky, resorting to basic R&B or reggae-rock melodies to keep things simple. The result is a tight two sides, full of tunes that don't leave wondering what's the point. Palmer's point is a short, sure one: rock it." (The Spokesman Review)
