Review

The best songs on here -- the title track, "Big John," "A Thing of the Past, " "Make the Night a Little Longer, " "Soldier Boy, " and "Putty in Your Hands" -- are available on the Rhino best-of double album. Still, it's a pretty solid effort for its day, featuring state-of-the-art orchestral early-'60s New York girl group production and decent songwriting. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
