The video possibly made it more of a hit than anything else in my opinion. The David Foster Production era had at least one good album, so I can't totally knock it down, but I'm not too much of a listener of it either.
I remember Love Bomb (1985 - returning to Rundgren for the Production?) and thinking that a break was in need, although "Piece by Piece" was a passable Pop tune. Oddly enough I still remember watching some Music Show from 1984 that had a brief interview with Fee when he released his solo Read My Lips, which was made shortly before Love Bomb.

I really loved the David Foster production on those two albums, he gave the band a high-gloss sheen and their music had a slight funky feel as well on some of the songs.
Inside/Outside was easily their biggest commercial success. Never liked
Love Bomb with the return of Todd Rundgren, always saw it as a disappointment but did like some of the more experimental stuff on the album.

The ballad was an obvious attempt at getting commercial success and I quite like the song, sounds terrible live though as its sung by Bill Spooner. "Think About Me" now that's a classic Tubes song.
