AMG Review of You Were on My Mind
Richie Unterberger
All Music GuideDespite the presence of the cheery folk-rock title smash, much of We Five's debut LP was given over to collegiate folk-pop renderings of standards such as "Tonight" (from West Side Story), "Cast Your Fate to the Winds," "My Favorite Things," and Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love." Some cuts mined a more satisfying mild folk-rock territory; the confused direction was only compounded by "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'," an odd Mersey-styled raveup. The harmonies are nice, and an overlooked influence upon the early San Francisco rock scene. But the album as a whole is pretty lightweight, with nothing else in the same league as "You Were On My Mind." A Collectors' Choice Music CD reissue combines this and the 1967 LP Make Someone Happy onto one disc.
