Cinderella : Long Cold Winter

HEARTACHES COME AND GO

AND ALL THAT'S LEFT

ARE THE WORDS

I CAN'T LET GO...

 Long Cold Winter

 is the 

second

 studio album by 

American 

Glam Metal Band

 Cinderella

 It was released

 in July 1988

 on Mercury Records.

The record reached

 No. 10

 in the US 

and became

 double-platinum 

for shipping

 two million copies

 in the US 

by the end of the year, 

just as their 

debut album

 Night Songs 

had done earlier. 

It was later certified 

triple platinum. 

The album features

 four singles, 

which all charted on

 the Billboard Hot 100. 

"Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)",

 the band's 

highest-charting single,

 reached No. 12,

 "The Last Mile" 

reached No. 36,

 "Coming Home" 

reached No. 20,

 and

 "Gypsy Road" 

hit No. 51, 

more than a year 

after the release 

of the album.

Reception

The album received 

mixed-to-positive reviews. 

Music critics remarked

 the shift of the 

band's musical style

 from the clichéd 

glam metal

 of their debut

 to more

 blues-oriented compositions, 

but they did not agree

 in the evaluation

 of the songs' quality.

 Contemporary reviewers 

criticized the album for being 

"too bluesy" 

and too derivative

 of other more 

famous bands' influences. 

Only Rock Hard 

reviewer considered

 Long Cold Winter

 "a surprisingly strong 

rock' n' roll album,

 rough, unpolished, powerful,

 but still melodious", 

and praised

 Keifer's vocals 

and the

 level of songwriting.
