Three Dog Night were a pop harmony group very successful in the States but noticeably less so in the UK. Their self titled debut includes the US No. 5 hit single One. (US:11)

"A surprisingly good 'sleeper' of a debut from a band that probably justifiably gets plenty of stick from commercial rock haters like myself. It's hard rock driven soul/pop, with a much more underground vibe going than that found after they hit it big."

"The weakest part of this record is actually one of Three Dog Night's biggest hits, the annoying One. The banging on that piano makes me cringe. Everything beyond that is great late 60s rock/pop music."

"The critics decided that since they didn't write their own songs then they had to be a second rate band. But in retrospect, if you can sing and play this good and choose incredible songs to record, then who cares? This is one of the lost classics of the sixties, every song on here is a winner."

"Way back when, this band was putting out hit after hit, with superb harmonies you'd try (but fail) to match, and the absolute best band in the land. The first release virtually exploded off the turntable and in the headphones, with the three part harmonies sounding like one all-powerful voice, and the organ and guitar especially dominating the electrifying sound that was emerging."

"Three Dog Night made the most enjoyable and radio friendly interpretations of other people's songs in rock history. Many times their interpretations became the true hit, being far more popular than the original artist's version."

"This is their first album and their best. It sounds dated today and the covers are great songs, but they do not top the originals. Still though this is a good album and an honest effort. Afterwards they became a hit singles machine."

"Some of the best songs that got them started on their rise to stardom. They have some of the best harmonies from that era. This LP is a must for anyone who enjoys listening to rock & roll, rhythm & blues, soul and funk all from one group."
