Friends relies a little too much on the polished reggae-pop of Maxi Priest and UB40, both of whom make guest appearences on the disc. Since Sly & Robbie make their sultry grooves sound effortless, they can make even the slick pop of Lionel Richie's &Penny Lover& and the Mick Hucknall duet &Night Nurse& sound appealing, and they can prevent &Theme From 'Mission Impossible'& from sounding kitschy. Nevertheless, these songs bog down the record, especially when compared to the covers that work -- a seductive take on Cole Porter's &You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To& and a ripping version of the Stones' &Satisfaction.& Such high points are surrounded by amiable, undistinctive filler that never quite ruins the album, but prevents it from really taking off.
