Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The Beach Boys' second album of 1964 (they released four that year!) was released at the height of rampant Beatlemania. But that stiff competition only served to push Wilson and his band to new creative heights. The budding transatlantic rivalry also effectively made this the final album of Brian Wilson's early sun-'n'-fun period--his personal introspection and insecurities would increasingly inform his work hereafter. That either dates All Summer Long or marks it as a time-capsule classic (more likely the latter). Wilson's Phil Spector-inspired production blossoms in service of such pressing concerns as the fun of motorcycling ("Little Honda"), seasonal fun ("All Summer Long") and the joys of dining out ("Drive In"). But the Hawthorne Hedonists also convey Wilson's romantic brooding on "Hushabye" and "Girls on the Beach," bittersweet reminders of how fragile their leader was at heart. All Summer Long now seems an ironic tribute to a simpler, long-vanished American ethos. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid, splendid--one of the best from the Boys, April 12, 2000
By A Customer
A must-have, simply put. A friend once looked at the songs on "Revolver" and said "Is this a greatest hits CD?" The same can be said about this album. (Two-fer or not, buy it. It's only money.) Now check out "Shut Down, Vol. 2." Long live 1964.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brain Wilson is a genius, what more do you need to know?, June 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: All Summer Long (Audio CD)
I'd hunt for a copy of the "Little Deuce Coupe/All Summer Long" two-fer before dropping change on this single album CD. It is still in print in Canada and you'd get more bang for your buck. Nuts to Capitol records for deleting the wonderful two-fer series. Despite what some folks might claim the song "Drive In" is not about "the joys of dining out" but actually about the joys of the drive in movie theatre!
