It was released by [[London Records]] on 17 March 2003 and was primarily produced by Ian Masterson, Korpi & Blackcell, Neïmo and Terry Ronald. It was re-issued in November 2007 with a bonus disc of remixes and different artwork. {{TOC limit}} ==Background== It received a generally positive reception from music critics, some of whom complimented its mix of pop sophistication, club culture and accessibility,<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/pop/reviews/dannii_neon.shtml ''BBC.co.uk'']</ref> and some of whom felt as though its 1980s retro sound was too dated. It was Dannii's first studio album in six years since 1997's ''[[Girl (Dannii Minogue album)|Girl]]''.<ref>[http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00008NV53?v=product-description&%5Fencoding=UTF8 ''Amazon.co.uk'']</ref> In November 2001, Minogue released the single, "[[Who Do You Love Now?]]", a collaboration with [[Zki & Dobri|Riva]]. Described by ''Sound Generator'' as a ''"nice serene and dreamy vocal on the dance floor anthem"'', the song peaked at number three on the UK singles chart, and reached number one on the dance charts.<ref>[http://www.soundgenerator.com/burner/review_detail.cfm?reviewid=284 "A 'proper' record from young Dannii of well crafted little gems"]. SoundGenerator.com. 19 March 2002. Retrieved 12 December 2006.</ref>The song is widely regarded as Minogue's Comeback Song.

Retrieved 30 June 2006</ref> In [[Australia]] the album was moderately successful, and reached number twenty-five on the albums chart, and it was nominated for "Best Pop Release" at the 2003 [[ARIA Music Awards]] making it Minogue's only ARIA nomination to date. ==Critical response== {{Album ratings | rev1 = [[About.com]] | rev1Score = {{Rating|3.5|5}}<ref name="about">{{cite web |last=Slomowicz |first=Ron |url=http://dancemusic.about.com/cs/reviews/gr/Dannii.htm |title=Dannii Minogue – Neon Nights |publisher=[[About.com]] |date=2003 |accessdate=2013-01-25}}</ref> | rev2 = [[Allmusic]] | rev2Score = {{Rating|4|5}}<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web |last=Lucas |first=John |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/neon-nights-mw0000319688 |title=Neon Nights – Dannii Minogue |publisher=[[Allmusic]] |date=2003 |accessdate=2013-01-25}}</ref> | rev3 = [[BBC Music]] | rev3Score = positive<ref name="bbc">{{cite web |last=Smith |first=Jack |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/hd25 |title= Dannii Minogue Neon Nights Review |publisher=[[BBC]] |date=2003 |accessdate=2013-01-25}}</ref> | rev4 = [[MusicOMH]] | rev4Score = positive<ref name="musicomh">{{cite web |last=Kirke |first=Alexis |url=http://www.musicomh.com/reviews/albums/dannii-minogue-neon-nights |title= Dannii Minogue – Neon Nights |publisher=[[MusicOMH]] |date=2003-03-17 |accessdate=2013-01-25}}</ref> }} ''Neon Nights'' was met with generally positive reviews. John Lucas of [[Allmusic]] described it as a "varied collection, a veritable pick and mix of the European dance scene at the turn of the century" and felt that it "flows better than any of Dannii's albums have before."<ref name="allmusic"/> Jack Smith of [[BBC Music]] called it "a pleasant cocktail of pop sophistication, club culture and accessibility" that "goes a long way to remind the world of Dannii's powerful vocals."<ref name="bbc"/> Alexis Kirke of [[MusicOMH]] praised the singles "[[Who Do You Love Now?]]", "[[Put the Needle on It]]" and "[[I Begin to Wonder]]" and stated that "if Dannii cannot win and hold a position of new popularity with this album [...], she may never get another chance."<ref name="musicomh"/> Ron Slomowicz of [[About.com]] felt that ''Neon Nights'' is "good pop music," though "generic in some songs" with some "obvious filler."<ref name="about"/> In a retrospective for the album's 10th anniversary, Mike Wass of [[Idolator (website)|Idolator]] wrote that "it’s one thing to create an excellent three-and-a-half-minute dance-pop song, but another to sustain the appeal over an entire album. [[Kylie Minogue|Kylie]] managed it with ''[[Fever (Kylie Minogue album)|Fever]]'', [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]] followed suit on ''[[Confessions on a Dance Floor]]''. Dannii’s contribution to the genre is every bit as good as those classics."<ref name="idolator">{{cite web |last=Wass |first=Mike |url=http://www.idolator.com/7447248/dannii-minogue-neon-nights-anniversary-10-backtracking |title=Dannii Minogue’s ‘Neon Nights’ Turns 10: Backtracking |publisher=[[Idolator (website)|Idolator]] |date=2013-05-18 |accessdate=2013-01-25}}</ref> ==Track listing== {{tracklist | writing_credits = yes | extra_column = Producer(s) | title1 = [[Put the Needle on It]] | writer1 = [[Henrik Korpi]], [[Mathias Johansson (producer)|Mathias Johansson]], [[Karen Poole]], Dannii Minogue | extra1 = [[Korpi & Blackcell]] | length1 = 3:24 | title2 = Creep | writer2 = Korpi, Johansson, Poole, Minogue | extra2 = Korpi & Blackcell | length2 = 3:28 | title3 = [[I Begin to Wonder]] | writer3 = Dacia Bridges, Olaf Kramolowsky, [[Jean-Claude Ades]], Minogue, [[Ian Masterson]] | extra3 = [[Jean-Claude Ades]] | length3 = 3:40 | title4 = Hey!
