Review - :
{^Play 'N' the Game} found {$Nazareth} continuing in the {\AOR} direction they established with {^Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll}. Like that album, it trades the driving {\rock} that made the group famous for an {\experimental} sound that toys with several different musical genres. For instance, {&"Down Home Girl"} is a stab at {\Southern rock}, and the group's cover of {$the Beach Boys} classic {&"Wild Honey"} slows down that song's tempo to create an effects-laden {\psychedelic} atmosphere. Elsewhere, the group covers the {\hard rock} bases with {&"Someone to Roll"} and {&"Born to Love,"} a pair of energetic, guitar-driven rockers that would have fit in fine on {^Razamanaz} or {^Loud & Proud}. They also cross-breed the energy of these tracks with {\pop} hooks on {&"L.A. Girls,"} a nimble bit of {\pop/rock} fusion where speedy guitar riffs duke it out a with handclap-driven {\pop} song beat. However, the undeniable highlights of {^Play 'N' the Game} are its {\ballads}: {&"I Want to Do Everything for You"} is a promise of eternal love built on a swinging and pleasingly earthy bass groove and {&"I Don't Want to Go on Without You"} is a moody tale of lost love that shows off {$Manny Charlton}'s ability to craft the soft but powerful guitar riffs necessary for a good power {\ballad}. This album benefits from a more consistent overall sound than {^Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll}, but its shifts in tone are too abrupt for their own good, making the proceedings come off as a loose collection of songs instead of a fully conceived album. Despite this problem, {^Play 'N' the Game} is an effective slice of {\AOR} that will please the {$Nazareth} fan base. ~ Donald A. Guarisco, All Music Guide
