Whirlwind is the fourth album by singer-songwriter Andrew Gold, released in 1980 on Asylum Records.

Rolling Stone's Stephen Holden called Whirlwind "a well-crafted album of imitation rock by a pop sentimentalist unconvincingly crying tough."

Concluding "the record merely reaffirms Andrew Gold's skill as a meticulous pop interior designer recycling Sixties guitar hooks into blandly tasteful studio settings.

"[4] Reviewers of Billboard noticed that this album was more rocking then two previous works.

[5] AllMusic's James Chrispell retrospectively noted "[t]he hits were not forthcoming" and the "album came and went in nearly the blink of an eye, and not much else was heard from Andrew Gold's once-promising solo career.
