Reception


Overall, the album received positive reviews. According to Rolling Stone, "Vagabond Heart finds Stewart rising to new challenges as both a songwriter and a singer. The strength of the songs and the depth of Stewart's conviction make this his most compelling work since the early 1970s."[13] AllMusic claimed "Vagabond Heart is a stronger, more diverse album than its predecessor (Out of Order), featuring a more consistent set of songs."[14][15]

The "Vagabond Heart Tour" was made available on video in 1992, shot during a concert in Los Angeles on Valentine's Day.[16]
