Against the Wind is the eleventh studio album by American rock singer Bob Seger and his third which credits the Silver Bullet Band.

[3] By late 1981 the album sold 3.7 million copies in the United States[4] and was certified 5× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2003.

A review in The Boston Phoenix echoed some of Marsh's criticisms, saying that Seger offered nothing that hadn't been heard before or equaled his best work, "only heavy-handed efforts to simulate it.

"[13] In a more positive review in the Los Angeles Times, critic Robert Hilburn said the album was "close to [Seger's] earlier works" but represented a "mastering of the form" and that the reflective ballads stood out.

[14] John Rockwell of The New York Times called it an "honest, attractive album" and a "nice return to his Night Moves form.
