"Soul driven pop with good period flavour. Commercially, they were already well on their way to emerging from the underground."

"Three Dog Night owned AM radio for a while in 1969-70. This album is a perfect example of why. There are great harmonies, very competent guitar, and well-chosen material that is uniquely interpreted by the band."

"Can you say cover band? The cover of Lady Samantha saves this album from complete anonymity."

"Three Dog Night are one of those 60s-70s bands that hold up so well after decades. Tight vocal harmonies (where is that kind of singing these days?) and fine musicianship never go out of style."

"Three Dog Night released this sophomore effort after their equally strong debut. TDN delivered a sound all their own. Corey had the grit, Chuck had the soul and Danny.... well Danny may have not had quite the range of the other two, however, you would not have those perfect TDN harmonies without him. Suitable For Framing is not an album without its share of filler."

"3DN are one of the few bands who made a career of singing other songwriters' compositions. This resulted in a rather eclectic sound with the vocals being the identifying factor. Along with the hits from this album, other notable tracks include Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come and Elton John's Lady Samantha."

"There are some good songs here, like the upbeat anthem Celebrate, the sentimental ballad from the musical Hair - Easy To Be Hard, covers by Laura Nyro and Elton John. Three Dog Night also contribute with a couple of their own compositions as well. This album put TDN on the map."
