Reviews
Billboard Review: 11/19/1977
With each album, Summer gives further proof that there is more to her than her disco reputation suggest. Not only has Summer`s singing taken on richer vocal textures, but her writing also shows strong development. The songbird`s newest is a two-record concept album; a fantasy about a girl in a land where everything real is unreal. From the opening theme, the dream progresses in musical intensity by way of elegant pop and disco flavored orchestations. Each side has its own distinctive mood, representing different stages in the dream. While Summer`s vocals are the focal point, the excellent bass, horn and percussion delivers strong support. Best cuts: "Now I Need You", "Say Something Nice", "Rumor Has It", "Fairy Tale High".
