This is a difficult album to rate. I’ve always loved Dusty Springfield, but this isn’t her best work. No surprise that it’s her debut - it’s generic 60s pop, without the soul of her later work (“Son of a Preacher Man”, “Spooky”, or “Windmills of Your Mind”). As such, we don’t get her best vocal performances. Wishin’ and Hopin’ is the only song I really like here, and there’s a couple of others which pale in comparison to the originals (“You Don’t Own Me” and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow”) - this wouldn’t matter as much if Dusty’s versions were a bit more elaborate rather than just imitations of the originals. The rest is just easy-listening background music.
