Written by Bruce Woolley, Simon Darlow, Stephen Lipson and Trevor Horn (the latter also producing), 'Slave To The Rhythm' is one of Grace Jones' most familiar and popular recordings, as well as being one of her biggest commercial hits. Entwining pop, Go-go and funk styles, this atmospheric recording boasts a great vocal from Grace who really hits her stride. Like so many of her songs, it bears a somewhat ethereal effect.

Retrieved 22 December 2021.The dark, swirling, hypnotic sounds and unearthly vibes of 'Walking In The Rain' from 1981's critically-acclaimed 'Nightclubbing' (a top 10 R&B hit album and also voted 'Album Of The Year' by readers of NME magazine) is a stand out! Grace delivers her trademark half-sung, half-spoken passages, all adding to the intensity of the beguiling mood and atmosphere. The song had originally been composed and recorded by the Australian band Flash and the Pan in 1979. Grace's version was culled as the final single from 'Nightclubbing', but despite being a top notch cut, only met with mediocre success commercially.

Music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a B− and felt that a "lot of her best material is simply ignored" in the record. Pennanen, Timo (2006).
