Critics praised Randy’s performance, and his opening set was a highlight of the evening.

Bob Claypool, Houston Post, February 13, 1981:

“On a brighter note, there was a fine opening set from former Eagle Randy Meisner, who had plenty of new stuff to offer, including such country-rockers as ‘Hearts On Fire’ and “Come On Back to Me.”

Dale Adamson, Houston Chronicle, February 14, 1981:

“The only real bright spot to Thursday’s show was ex-Eagle Randy Meisner’s opening set. Although he hasn’t quite developed into a forceful bandleader yet, his group’s tight harmonies and bright country rock sound”“particularly on tunes like “˜Heart’s On Fire’ and “˜Trouble Ahead'”“provided the only fully satisfying musical moments in an otherwise altogether forgettable evening.”
