Despite the massive success of the album, "Let's Dance" began a period of low creativity for Bowie. He felt that he had to pander his music to his new acquired audience, leading his follow-up albums, "Tonight" (1984) and "Never Let Me Down" (1987), to be critically dismissed. He would later reflect poorly on the period that began with "Let's Dance", referring to it as his "Phil Collins years". The record also ended his longtime collaboration with producer Tony Visconti, whom he didn't work with again until 2002. The album was remastered in 2018 and included in the box set "Loving the Alien (1983–1988)".
