Description of Destination Anywhere:
It's appropriate that Destination Anywhere is an album by Bon Jovi the solo artist as opposed to Bon Jovi the band. For while it contains the requisite number of catchy tunes and the right amount of romantic drama, it varies from the band's output in two important ways. First, much of the material on Destination Anywhere is more low-key than the band's high-octane anthems, offering intimacy, if not exactly introspection, from Jon Bon Jovi himself. Too, there's an experimental edge to the music, with sound samples, programmed drums, and keyboard washes that are as distant from the group's albums as California is from New Jersey. Eurythmic Dave Stewart, ex-Hooters Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian, and perennial hit maker Desmond Child kick in some help on "Queen of New Orleans," "Midnight in Chelsea," and "Ugly." The album-closing "August 7, 4:15," meanwhile, is a dramatic rocker about the murder of Bon Jovi's manager's child. Overall, Destination Anywhere is a solid effort, with Bon Jovi flexing some of the same muscles he's building with his budding acting career. --Daniel Durchholz
Destination Anywhere Reviews:
I Love It!!!!! 
2009-11-19 - I wsa very pleased with the dvd of Destination Anywhere. I enjoyed the music that was in the dvd.I oved it because Jon Bon Jovi was in it!!!!! it also had a great cast. It Is A Amazon Verified Purchase.
Timeless enjoyment.
2009-08-03 - This is by far my favorite BON JOVI tape. I have had the CD for twelve years now--bought in 1997 while serving as a federal employed social worker working for the Army in Augsburg, Germany. I have been purchasing music in one form or other since 1966. Few have stood the test of time but quite honestly DESTINATION ANYWHERE never seems to get old. My husband is one who tends to not like songs unless he understands the words. Well the words on this tape are not only easily understandable but I find myself singing to them over and over again whether the tape is playing or not. I especially love MIDNIGHT IN CHELSEA, STARING AT YOUR WINDOW WITH A SUITCASE IN MY HAND, EVERY WORD HAS A PIECE OF MY HEART, IT'S JUST ME AND LEANING HOW TO FALL. I remember the advent of "soft rock" back in the 1970s. It was not appropriate for those of us who worked in offices at that time to listen to hard rock or head banger music. The music in DESTINATION ANYWHERE is totally appropriate however. I find it kind of mystical sometimes, mysterious and seductive. It is not surprising then that it remains one of my favorite tapes after all these years...
Poetic, Brilliant!!!
2009-02-01 - I've had this CD for a while and just never gave it the attention it deserves. I've been listening to it all day on my iPod. It's an amazing creation! Pure Jon; pure poetry; full of the kind of fine sensibility that informs all of his best work! I want more of this. Jon, it's time to make another one like this one!
Simple Review 
2009-01-11 - Count this as 2.5 stars. Highlights: Every Word Was A Piece Of My Heart, Destination Anywhere, August 7, 4:15. Lowlights: Queen Of New Orleans, It's Just Me. Jon Bon Jovi experimenting and going for a pop sound. While I can appreciate the album and what he's trying accomplish unfortunately it seems like it came out when his voice was at it's weakest - I don't know why. He just doesn't sound anywhere near as good as "These Days" and didn't fully regain it until "Bounce".
Eh
2008-06-05 - I like him best with the rest of Bon Jovi and his collaborations with Richie Sambora. It's an Ok CD, nothing to write home about.
