Heralded as a return to form for Clapton, who had struggled with alcohol addiction and recently found sobriety, the album has a 1980s electronic sound, but it also includes blues songs like "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_You_Accuse_Me" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Before You Accuse Me</a>", "Running on Faith", and "Hard Times." "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Love_(Eric_Clapton_song)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bad Love</a>" was released as a single, reaching the No. 1 position on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstream_Rock_(chart)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Album Rock Chart</a> in the United States, and being awarded a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Male_Rock_Vocal_Performance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance</a> in 1990. "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretending_(Eric_Clapton_song)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pretending</a>" had also reached the No. 1 position on the Album Rock Chart the previous year, remaining at the top for five weeks ("Bad Love" had only stayed for three weeks).The album reached number 2 on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Albums_Chart" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UK Albums Chart</a> and 16 on the US <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_200" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Billboard 200</a> chart, and it went on to become double platinum in the US. Clapton has said Journeyman is one of his favourite albums.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journeyman_(album)#cite_note-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[1]</a><h2>Contents</h2><h2>Critical reception</h2>Reviewing in December 1989 for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Village_Voice" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Village Voice</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Christgau" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Robert Christgau</a> gave the album a B-minus and wrote of Clapton, "What did you expect him to call it – Hack? <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layla_(album)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Layla</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/461_Ocean_Boulevard" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">461 Ocean Boulevard</a> were clearly flukes: he has no record-making knack. So he farms out the songs, sings them competently enough, and marks them with his guitar.
