By their fifth studio album See What Tomorrow Brings, Peter, Paul & Mary had been eclipsed by Bob Dylan as the leading voice in the folk protest movement. Nevertheless, they still enjoyed strong sales and critical plaudits. (US:11)

"I have always felt that this album was the one that matched the authenticity and freshness of their classic In The Wind. It is a very strong album with wonderful versions of Early Morning Rain, Last Thing On My Mind and First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. In fact, I would say, definitive versions. Some have criticised them for being 'too sugary and perfect' but this is a lovely album that stands out from its time."

"See What Tomorrow Brings is a very satisfying and enjoyable album. It may not match the first three albums in consistent quality, but there are some excellent performances here. Vocally, they are as haunting as ever, particularly on Because All Men Are Brothers. These tracks are gorgeous, and as in all their work, sung with pure emotion and belief in the song being sung. The album is marred by the inclusion of a few cuts - Brother Can You Spare A Dime? does not really work, and On A Desert Island is pure filler."

"Released around 1965, this album showcases PP & M in their heyday. You get a wide variety of types of songs, in a wide variety of arrangements, so that the old cliché of something to please everyone is pretty close to the mark. One of the strangest tracks is On A Desert Island, a British music hall song from the turn of the last century, and done precisely in that style."

"PP & M not merely in their prime, as astute fans have commented, but at the very peak of their powers."

"I have listened to this album many times since it was first released, and I am never disappointed. The songs are exciting, and the voice of Mary Travers is bewitching. Anyone who likes Peter, Paul and Mary should have this album; it is their best."
