Jewel's critique:      
         
Finally I have a copy of this nice "short album". For me the highlight actually is "Ngo yiu chung siu" (track 5) because it's the great theme song of "Police Story 2"! You can hear the song in the ending credits (outtakes). But "Great Tsim Sha Tsui Night" is also great as its title already says *lol*. For everyone who doesn't know: Tsim Sha Tsui is an area in Hong Kong. My personal favorite part of Hong Kong actually! :-) Now I only have to find out what Jackie is singing about. The song is ironically sung in Japanese instead of Cantonese...

All in all the album isn't really a whole album. It seems to me that it was more of an advertisment for "Police Story 2" in Japan.
Track 2 and 3 are also on Jackie's second Cantonese album called "Jackie Chan" that was released in the same year, and track 6 isn't really a song - Jackie just tells something in Cantonese. So you don't get that much new from this one.
The weird mixture of Cantonese and Japanese songs is also a sign that it's not supposted to be a whole production.
Still - it's a must in every Jackie Chan music collection - three nice songs (track 1, 4, 5) you can only get on this release.

I give it 7 out of 10.
