4.0 out of 5 stars My 2nd Favourite album By 'The Partridge Family', July 11, 2008

By	Retro_Saiyan (Australia) - See all my reviews

The Partridge Family may of been 'fake', But that didn't stop them from producing some nice music. This might be their best album apart from the "Christmas" effort, in fact this album is actually quite strong, with a catchy set of tracks that have a nice early 70's charm to them. Very little filler, and certainly fun-filled. Considering it's cheap price, This is actually a bargain, and the remastering is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Teen Pop Music, October 13, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

This was the second release from the infamous Partridge Family. For not being a real group, at this stage much thought was given into the quality and eclectic styles of the songs recorded. David Cassidy had great vocals to carry these tracks. I was a teen at the time this was released and I think that even though this music is "bubblegum pop" it also is fun, infectuous and well produced. It stands the test of time and I am very greatful the albums are on cd like this, remastered with excellent sound quality. There are also very informative liner notes.

The hit here was DOESN'T SOMEBODY WANT TO BE WANTED but there are many standouts here. I'LL MEET YOU HALFWAY, LAY IT ON THE LINE, UMBRELLA MAN, THAT'LL BE THE DAY, SHE'D RATHER HAVE THE RAIN and I'LL LEAVE MYSELF A LITTLE TIME are all quality pop songs.

This cd is highly entertaining. For all of you who grew up with this music it is a must have. You will still enjoy it and the price and remastering make it an excellent addiition to your music collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bubblegum from the "pyschedelic" era...., January 13, 2009

By	Grigory's Girl "Grigory's Girl" (NYC) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is another gem by the beloved Partridge Family, and it's still pretty cool to listen today. It peaked at #3 on the charts, stayed at the #3 spot for four weeks, and spent a year on the album chart. So 1971 wasn't all total pyschedelic music. There was bubblegum in the air back in those days.

I'll Meet You Halfway, Doesn't Somebody Want to be Wanted, and the silly, yet really enjoyable Umbrella Man are here. David Cassidy's vocals are really quite good here, more powerful than on the first album. He's also on every track (some of the songs on the first album he didn't sing on). I really dig this album, and it's a great follow up to their first album (which I think is their best).
