The Four Seasons second US top ten album came with Big Girls Don't Cry and features the US chart topping singles Walk Like A Man and the title track. As a result of the hit musical Jersey Boys new generations are discovering the marvellous musical legacy of The Four Seasons. (US:8)

"The brash, strength-in-adversity anthem Walk Like A Man and the recycled Big Girls Don't Cry are innovative re-workings of the East Coast harmony-vocal style as well as clear signposts toward the pure-pop ear candy The Seasons and genius producer/songwriter Bob Crewe would pursue."

"A mixture of originals by Crewe, '50s doo-wop tunes the group had cut their teeth on, and older standards. The group's singing, of course, is glorious throughout."

"This is my favourite Four Seasons LP. I cherish every song on it. Well my favourite has to be Hi-Lili Hi-Lo. If you want great music get this album, its worth every penny."

"Great, I love to hear The Seasons' versions of such classics as Sincerely and Tonite Tonite and all the others, plus their original hits. This will be a gem to add to your Four Seasons library."

"The Four Seasons sound is quite unlike any other, with fantastic harmonies and heartfelt lyrics, delivered with a great depth of feeling."

"This is real instruments, real vocal talent and real energy. You don't find that in the electronic sounds of synthesized music today. Old '60s rock had it all. Very catchy and lots of soul, who can hear these songs and not be moved."

"Walk Like A Man is probably their best song ever, with Big Girls Don't Cry being as much of a classic. There's some filler on here as on most other pop LPs from the early 60s, but everything is top notch vocally and the backing tracks are usually done with craft and creativity that most early 60s LPs lack. Though not as satisfying as Sherry, it still has some worthwhile album tracks.”
