Supported by the singles "Loving the Alien", "Blue Jean" and the title track, "Tonight" was a commercial success, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart. However, it received mostly poor reviews from music critics, with most noting its lack of creativity. Following the critical dismissal of his next studio album "Never Let Me Down" (1987), Bowie would later express dissatisfaction with this period, calling "Tonight" not one of his stronger efforts. Bowie did not tour in support of the album, and only performed "Loving the Alien" and "Blue Jean" on subsequent tours. It is generally regarded by Bowie's biographers and reviewers as one of his weakest releases. The album was remastered in 2018 as part of the box set "Loving the Alien (1983–1988)".
