"Without a doubt, one of the most sonically exciting releases all year. This is an album that feels tactile, yet otherworldly in the same breath.

"Elvis Presley's second album is obviously nowhere near as significant or important as his first, but it is a more consistent record. Some great rock'n'roll classics sung with gusto serve to make this a thoroughly enjoyable album. Elvis at his early best." Reply
