AMG Review of California Girl

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

California Girl is a collection of old songs and newly recorded tracks by Nancy Sinatra, all built around one central concept -- songs about California, from San Francisco to San Fernando, from classic tunes from the silver screen to sun-kissed rock & roll. It's a good idea for a record and even if the mix of old and new material is a little bit awkward, it's still a breezy, rather engaging record for longtime fans who have stuck by Nancy through thick and thin.
