Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic writes, "Cinderella reached back into the Stones and Aerosmith songbooks and created a sneering, raunchy hard rock album that was artistically their finest moment, even if it didn't reach the same commercial heights as its predecessors."[3]

This mentioned from the Chicago Tribune website, "The band's new PolyGram Records album, Heartbreak Station, features more rootsy blues rock (the disc is scheduled for a Nov. 20 release). Yet despite Cinderella's blues leanings, critics often lump the group in with party bands like Poison and Warrant."[2]

The LA Times writes, "Any band that can achieve a good approximation of the Stones' raw, cranking classic period--as Cinderella does here-- at least has the validity of a solid bar band. But Cinderella fails to justify and redeem its stylistic thefts by infusing a borrowed sound with a personal perspective."[7]

People begins their review with sarcasm, "The first thing that strikes you about this new album by Poison…er, uh, this new album by Cinderella…is how utterly original it is." They continue this theme throughout: "So as I was saying, you can’t go wrong if you buy this new Mötley Crüe record. Ask for it by name."[9]

Heartbreak Station es el tercer álbum de la banda estadounidense de hard rock Cinderella, publicado en 1990. Alcanzó el puesto #19 en las listas de éxitos estadounidenses y alcanzó la certificación de platino el mismo año.[1] Pese a esto, el disco no fue igual de exitoso a los esfuerzos anteriores de Cinderella, probablemente por el abandono del sonido hard rock que había caracterizado sus anteriores entregas (un estilo similar al de la banda Def Leppard), acogiendo un sonido más influenciado por bandas como Deep Purple, Humble Pie y Mott the Hoople.[2] Los hit singles del álbum fueron "Shelter Me" y la canción homónima.
