Forever is the fifth album by Orleans, released in 1979 on Infinity Records. It is the first album without John Hall.
Record World called the title track a "pretty love song" that "opens with a soft acoustic guitar and touching vocal that build in drama and intensity via a soaring electric lead bridge."
Cash Box said of the single "Don't Throw Our Love Away" that it is a smart, rock-tinged pop song, with some neat lead and slide guitar work."
