Jewel's critique:      
         

Jackie's second Cantonese album "Jackie Chan" was more of a "new album" than his Cantonese debut album (which mostly was put together with Cantonese new versions of his Japanese songs).

Here's again a list of the old/new versions of the song (like I also did with "Sing Lung" the Cantonese debut album)...  :-)

 
   new track (on this album):    old track:
 track 1:  Before the midnight kiss (Canto)  =  Identical with "Night of Passion Melody" on
 "Hongkong, My Love" (only different title)
 track 3:  Giant feelings (Canto)  =  same version like on "Mou Man Tai" (1987)
 track 7:  This night (Canto)  =  totally new arranged version of "Dream Ties" (Japanese)
 track 8:  I can do it (Canto)  =  Identical with "You change my life" on "Hongkong, My Love" (only different title)

The rest of the album are all new songs. :-)

You can hear a style change in Jackie's songs.. Other people composed and wrote his Cantonese songs. "Jackie Chan" isn't one of Jackie's best albums but I like to hear Jackie singing Cantonese a lot.
"Stay with me" and "Grow" are cute little pop songs, "New diary" has a latino-like arrangement (which makes this ballad really sound beautiful). Those duets with Naoko Kawai aren't really my taste, I don't like Naoko's voice at all... but maybe other Jackie fans see it differently ;-)

This album gets 6 out of 10.
