According to Waterman, Aitken was a noted perfectionist, particularly when it came to his guitar solos.

After the partnership split up in 1991, Aitken went into a period of retirement, raising his daughters, and pursuing hobbies such as auto racing. He later returned to the music industry in 1994—partnering with Mike Stock once again and having success with acts such as Nicki French, Scooch, and Robson & Jerome—before seemingly retiring again in 2002.
