Review by William Ruhlmann (allmusic.com)
Imbedded within the double-disc running time of The River is a single-disc album
that follows up on the themes and sound of Darkness on the Edge of Town -- wide-screen,
mid-tempo rock and stories of the disillusionment of working-class life and the conflicts
within families. In these songs, which include the title track, "Independence Day,"
and "Point Blank," Bruce Springsteen's world view is just as dire as it had become
on Darkness, but less judgmental. "Independence Day," for example, is a father-and-son
ballad that has little of the anger of its hard rock counterpart on Darkness,
"Adam Raised a Cain." Springsteen's heroes again seek to overcome their crushing
troubles through defiance and by driving around, and though "The River" repeats
the soured love theme of "Racing in the Street," he also posits romance as a
possible escape, sometimes combining it with one of the other solutions, as on the
eight-plus-minute "Drive All Night." But there is also another album lurking within
The River, and it is a more lighthearted pop/rock collection of short, sometimes
humorous songs like "Sherry Darling" and "I'm a Rocker." At times Springsteen
combines elements of the two, as on "Out in the Street," perhaps the album's
quintessential song, a catchy, up-tempo number that sounds like something from the
early '60s and echoes the theme of the Vogues' 1966 hit "Five O' Clock World".
"Hungry Heart," which became Springsteen's first Top Ten hit, combines a
rollicking musical track with a more sober lyrical theme that emphasizes
longing over disappointment. But a better guide to Springsteen's development
are the songs "Stolen Car" and the album-closing "Wreck on the Highway," gentle,
moody ballads imbued with a sense of hopelessness that anticipate his next record,
Nebraska.
