Allmusic 4.5/5 stars

Horizon is the sixth studio album of country artist Eddie Rabbitt. It was released in 1980 under the Elektra Records label. The album produced two singles, both of which reached number one on country charts. The lead-off single "Drivin' My Life Away" reached number 5 on the Billboard 100 and 9 the Adult Contemporary chart. The other single, "I Love a Rainy Night" reached number one on all three charts, the only single in Rabbitt's career to ever do so.

Horizon reached number one on country album charts and ultimately reached platinum status. Allmusic retrospectively gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5 and praised the tracks on side one for their "sun-inspired, guitar-based productions, heavy on the echo" but described the second side as being "a bit ballad-heavy." The review described the album as a "rockabilly release". In 2009, the full album was released in CD format.

The track "747" on this album is not the same as the much later Lady Antebellum version of the track of the same title for their 2014 album also entitled 747.
