Confrontation is the second album by the Boston band Face to Face. It was produced in part by Arthur Baker.

Like the 1984 debut, most of the songs were written by Angelo, with Laurie Sargent credited as co-writer on half. The record was not a commercial success and would be their last release on Epic Records. Many vinyl pressings in circulation can be found with a gold promo stamp on the back cover, making the non-promo copy more desirable to collectors due to its rarity.

"Tell Me Why" was released as a single in the United States.

AllMusic

Trouser Press concluded that "the routine presentation and sound make this Confrontation too radio-ready to be interesting."

Reissue

Epic Records made this available on compact disc in Japan. In 2006, Wounded Bird Records issued the album on CD in the United States.
