Reviews :
"Ace Frehely's first solo album after leaving Kiss, 1987's Frehley's Comet, was a decent effort -- easily on par with non-Frehley/Criss Kiss albums of the same era, but not as strong as his 1978 solo debut, Ace Frehley. Frehley's 1988 release, Second Sighting, turned out to be his poorest solo effort, due to pedestrian songwriting (most of the compositions were penned by second guitarist Tod Howarth or with the help of outside writers) and an unwelcome, glossy production -- longtime Ace/Kiss producer Eddie Kramer was sorely missed.
The keyboard-heavy tracks "Time Ain't Runnin' Out," "Fallen Angel," "New Kind of Lover," and "It's Over Now" (the latter a schmaltzy power ballad) are all lowlights, while the album-closing instrumental, "The Acorn Is Spinning," fails to impress as much as 1978's "Fractured Mirror" or 1981's "Escape From the Island" (with Kiss) did. A few tracks are reminiscent of Ace's expected heavy sound -- "Insane," "Juvenile Delinquent," and "Separate" (all suffer from half-baked lyrics, however) -- but it just isn't enough to prevent Second Sighting from being Ace's weakest solo outing to date." AllMusic Review by Greg Prato
"But what hurt things was Ace regressing into old habits," Trunk laments. "I was kind of oblivious to it at first, but as I started to see and hear that Ace wasn't at the studio, and then that he wasn't coming up with much material, or material that wasn't very good, I knew that we were starting to lose him. We had a tough time getting Ace to stay focused, let alone engaged. The thing to do was probably put the breaks on and get the main guy healthy, but we just pushed forward and leaned on Tod and John, which reshaped the entire sound and look of Second Sighting."
‘Fallen Angel’ is somewhat of a filler. Pretty generic. But again, not too bad by any means. ‘Separate’ is one of the first tracks written for the album. And it truly kicks ass. However, the studio version is lacking a certain punch. But it can found in the live version. Full on pocket hard rock. ‘New Kind of Lover’ isn’t anything particularly special. But the closing ‘The Acorn Is Spinning’ may be one of the most overlooked tracks in all of Ace Frehley’s storied career. He usually closes his albums out with an instrumental. And this one is pure fire. And no one ever talks about it. Truly a lost gem." Alex Rox Review by Alex Wyatt.
