With his limited vocal range British teen idol Adam Faith was somewhat out of his depth with this more adult material. This might explain why his second LP stalled at a relatively disappointing UK album chart placing. (UK:20)
“Adam Faith was a teen pop singer performing lounge material, sort of a Bobby Darin concept, except that Faith didn't have Darin's talent. His voice is pleasant enough but small.”
“It must be admitted that Adam Faith did not have a great voice being very limited as it was. He did however use his voice with his own special style. This combined with talents of John Barry gave Adam a string of hits in the early sixties.”
“Adam's early hits were mainly uptempo rockers, but he gradually switched his recording policy and his later hits were mostly ballads. He was never really a balladeer, though.”
“You would have had to have been of the late 50s and early 60s young generation to have known Adam and the impact that he had on that early era of UK rock ‘n’ roll, along with Cliff Richard and Billy Fury. He wasn't the greatest singer in the world, but he had an attraction and personality that appealed to a vast number of fans, as well as establishing a niche for catchy and memorable pop songs.”
