Acclaimed vocalist Barbra Streisand released My Name Is Barbra Two, the second album inspired by her TV special. It became her first chart LP in the UK and contains the British top twenty hit Second Hand Rose. (US:2 UK:6)

"My Name Is Barbra Two showcases the fantastic early singing voice of the great Barbra Streisand who's voice is, as you would expect, in perfect form throughout. Barbra Streisand certainly proves her talents with this album, and I heartily recommend it for her fans."

"In the mid 60s Barbra used her voice in unsubtle ways. Her interpretations, even in softer songs seemed to resonate with incredible power and force. My Name Is Barbra Two, is an example of this kind of technique. This album contains some of the most thrilling work of Barbra's career. On these cuts she produces the kind of vocal thrills that send listeners' hair on ends."

"The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is this brilliant collection and great singing doesn't get better than this. Barbra hit a new peak with the release of this masterpiece. I became a fan for life who to this day still gets a rush whenever I listen to these incredible and diverse performances."

"Wow! It's truly one of her all-time best recordings. Her voice is so powerful and beautiful. It's no wonder she created such a world-wide sensation back then. The calibre of music on this album is so much greater than anything you hear vocalists do now. Each one of the selections is a standout."

"Released as a sequel of sorts to her successful My Name Is Barbra album, you do not have to hear or even like that one to enjoy this one. In fact, truth be told, this is a far superior collection of songs."

"This album is wonderful. The target audience is one that is musically mature. The best part is the closing medley. Its brilliant, a vocal tour de force from Ms. Streisand."
