"Mirage" had the great handicap of being just behind the superb "Rumors" and "Tusk", so it had a more moderate success than these.
However, it would reach number one on the Billboard charts and a fifth position on the British charts with more than three million copies sold worldwide.
"Mirage" in a sense continued the path of "Tusk" with some fantastic melodic songs, with the characteristic rhythm of the band, demonstrated in an arsenal of great compositions like "Gypsy", "Hold Me", "Love in Store" that were the three singles from this album.
The rest was equally of considerable freshness and harmonic richness, like the beautiful ballad "Only Over You", the rhythmic "Can´t Go Back" or "Oh Diane" a brilliant song composed by Lindsay Buckingham.
All this makes up a homogeneous album, keeping the band's bar very high after the two aforementioned masterpieces.
