reception

In the Heart of the Young reached number 15 on the Billboard 200 in the United States and was awarded a gold record on September 18, 1990 . The album reached platinum status on April 25, 1991.

Frank Albrecht wrote for Rock Hard that Winger plays “typical US commercial metal with a slight blue touch.” The opener 'Can't Get Enuff' follows on “seamlessly where the band's debut left off” : “Robust, not too smoothly produced Metal with catchy refrains ” . Albrecht mentions Miles Away as "writing a sugar-sweet piece of writing that is still not too cheesy" . He also compares Rainbow in the Rose with pieces by Dan Reed Network because of the “pop keyboard and excellent melody lines” and describes In the Day We'll Never See as “an absolute hit, perfectly composed, guaranteed to be a hit single” . Baptized By Fire will be introduced “by a short, original bass solo” , in which Kip Winger proves that “Joey DeMaio is not the measure of all things” . Albrecht concludes with the remark that In the Heart Of The Young is “a successful commercial disc” .
