Just before Christmas, Breeze On By became Donny's first major hit single since the heyday of Osmond mania. It also marked the first time Donny had ever written his own material, albeit helped by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy.

Barlow is the obvious collaborator for Donny's easy, comfortable and stylish manner, and Keep Her In Mind and In It For Love are quality pop songs, which will thrill fans and, possibly, a few of their daughters too. However, Donny's collaboration with Beth Nielsen Chapman and Jim Brickman, on One Dream, is the highlight. Sadly, covers of I Wanna Know What Love Is and George Michael's Faith undermine an otherwise excellent album.
