In the Eye of the Storm is the first solo album by former Supertramp member Roger Hodgson.
The album's biggest hit was the four-minute edit of "Had a Dream (Sleeping with the Enemy)", which peaked at number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] The followup single, a four-minute edit of "In Jeopardy", was a minor hit, peaking at number 30 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[2] The album itself was far less successful than the first Hodgson-less Supertramp album, Brother Where You Bound, stalling at number 46 in the Billboard album charts[2] and only reaching number 70 in the UK Albums Chart.[3]

The album received a positive review from Allmusic, who stated that the album's key quality is that Hodgson plays the vast majority of the instruments himself. They also noted that though the music itself lacks any progressive rock elements, "The spirit of traditional progressive rock experimentation is alive on this album; five of the seven songs exceed six minutes."[4]
All songs written and arranged by Roger Hodgson.
The following inscription is printed inside the CD booklet:
I'd like to thank all those who weathered the storm with me, especially Doug Pringle and Ken Allardyce, for their musical and moral support.
