Critical reception


Chuck Pratt of The Pittsburgh Press described the album as "a charmer", but stated that none of the songs were "blockbuster", like "It's a Heartache" from her previous album. He highlighted "The Eyes of a Fool", "What a Way to Treat My Heart" and "Louisiana Rain" as the best tracks.[2]

Diamond Cut (с англ. — «Бриллиантовая огранка») — третий студийный альбом валлийской певицы Бонни Тайлер. Он был выпущен в феврале 1979 года на лейбле RCA Records. Альбом представляет собой отход от звучания в стиле кантри, которое было в первых двух альбомах, к более роковому.
