"The Freshmen are the best thing that could happen to American Popular Song. Their gorgeous arrangements considerably enhance the harmonies of those marvellous melodies without ever destroying their basic richness. This particularly applies to the Love Lost and Voices in Love albums but to me the same can be said about most of the Freshmen Capitol output. Their reissues on the CD format are thus mostly welcome!"

"Many people feels these two albums were the FF's best. Both gorgeous, lushly orchestrated with an unusual tasty choice of songs and vocals out of this world. Fabulous voicings and harmonies and I remember when the LPs first appeared and were widely celebrated. Anything by the group is worth getting but this is extra special."
...Without a doubt , the best they ever recorded!

"If your a fan of wonderful harmonies and fabulous arrangements ,'ya gotta have these. I've had them on vinyl and never thought they'd be available on c.d. The last one I got was a gift from The Freshmen's former manager back in the early '70's. Ross sent me a note and said that , at the time ,the "Voices in Love" album hadn't been available on Capitol for years. What a great surprise to find it now. I love these c.d.'s with soft candles , a tasty wine and tasty lady. Enjoy , Freshman fans! David - Elk Grove , Ca."

"i owned both of these albums back in the sixties and was happy to see that they are now available on one cd . i have always believed that these two albums were the freshmen's best and i would recommend them both to anyone who appreciates what real music is supposed to sound like . no cacaphony , no screaming , no vulgarities, no unintelligble lyrics , just real music with the classic four freshmen open harmony sound. outstanding ........"
