"Most artists find themselves thinking about getting older before they hit 60, but if it's taken a while for Forbert to warm to the topic. For the most part he handles it well on Compromised, and what's here should please longtime fans as well as more casual observers".

"Repeated listens reveal deeper thoughts and rewards than you first might imagine. It's good to have Steve Forbert here still, making records and allowing us to embrace those small glimpses of hope a little more closely".

"Reuniting with John Simon, who produced his most successful album, 1979's Jackrabbit Slim (which made #20), it's unmistakably Forbert (...) while the music ranges from jangly folk-pop (Compromised) to blues (Rollin' Home To Someone You Love) to jazz (the piano driven A Big Comeuppance) while the organ that drives along the midtempo When I Get To California has definite echoes of 70s English rock outfit Argent ... the reunion with Simon isn't going to repeat the success of Jackrabbit Slim, but it sure goes a long way to repeating the magic".
