AllMusic

Rendezvous is the fifth studio album by singer Christopher Cross, released in 1993 through BMG. It was his first album to be released after he left Warner Bros. It was originally released only in Japan and several European countries.

Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic remarked, "Although it went ignored at the time, Rendezvous was Christopher Cross' best album in ten years. It wasn't because he changed his style -- he remained an MOR balladeer with a fondness for slick productions and sentimental melodies -- but there's a little bit of an edge to his writing, and his songs are uniformly memorable. It may be a minor victory, but it's a victory nonetheless, and it's one that makes Rendezvous welcome to many fans of his first two albums."
