Barbra Streisand quickly repeated the winning formula of her first album with this new collection of standards which includes seven show tunes. The Second Barbra Streisand Album consolidated her reputation as the hottest new act of 1963. (US:2)
"If I had to choose one definitive album that so completely catches the magic that was Streisand in the beginning, this album is it."
"From the first notes of Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home to the moment when it is reprised again at the end of Like A Straw In the Wind Barbra's voice will hypnotize you. This is a better set of songs than even her first solo album."
"Barbra Streisand's follow up album, while not quite as creative or original as her first, is still a beautifully flowing recording, as well as perfectly sung. This time, however, Barbra sings in a more well-mannered and controlled way."
"These are Barbra's beginnings and you see her immense talent and the range, intensity, intimacy of her voice. It is also remarkable how good were her composers and lyricists, picked up from the musical theatre."
"Barbra Streisand's second album carries on seamlessly from her début disc. This time around, Streisand was able to approach newer material, while still including pieces from her nightclub act."
"The raw and youthful quality of Streisand's vocals is still very much apparent on this album. Her infectious charm will make it one you'll delight in revisiting time and again. Some may find the songs a bit dated. However, they provide a perfect forum, musically, for Barbra's miraculous talents both as a singer and an actress of song."
