A controversial album cover, from Britain's best ever ballad singer Tom Jones, that was replaced for the USA release. A-Tom-ic Jones reached No. 9 on the NME album chart.
"One of the few early Tom Jones albums without a lot of covers and with very high quality material."
"Tom Jones third album A-Tom-Ic Jones finds the singer working late 50s, early 60s style rock music and not the country & western hits and big band era ballads that dominated his later recordings. Here, most of the songs are originals, from tender ballads sung in understated style like Where Do You Belong, to all out rockers."
"Jones's voice and charisma shine effortlessly. This is the last of the 'old era' Tom Jones albums before his music moved towards more adult, less teen oriented sounds. A classic buy all Tom Jones fans will enjoy."
"Love too has awesome power, and results of exertions of this power can be creative and edifying or downright devastating. Tom sings of how great love is: Dr. Love is about administering love's healing powers, In A Woman's Eyes about being on the receiving end of a dose of love. Tom sings about the dangers of love: To Make A Big Man Cry is about how the sudden removal of love from a person's life can prove fatal, True Love Comes Only Once In A Lifetime is about the importance of caring for love when you have it, because, well, it comes only once in a lifetime."
"This LP has early Tom Jones with some really great numbers. Some of the less often heard songs include In A Woman's Eyes, Where Do You Belong and These Things You Don't Forget. But these are truly wonderful and I especially love them. Tom's voice is young, strong and on several of the numbers, quite bluesy."
"A wonderful collection of powerful songs from Tom Jones. In the songs, and in the power of the voice, the energy can be heard. This is not filled with big hits, but it does have plenty of variety, Despite (or perhaps because of) the lack of truly familiar songs, there is much to like about this set."
