Review by Gary Mollica; Score: ****
•′ The band's second LP was very strong; this time, most of the tunes are originals, with the exception of a cover of "Bald Headed Lena." Joe Butler and Yanovsky are featured on some lead vocals, and the album includes two more hits, "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice" and "Didn't Want to Have to Do It." [The 2002 reissue includes instrumental versions of "Jug Band Music" and "Fishin' Blues," demo versions of "Daydream" and "Didn't Want to Have to Do It," an alternate version of "Night Owl Blues" and an extra track, "Big Noise From Speonk."
•′ Daydream stands as one of the band's finest early efforts. John, Steve & Zal (what you were expecting John, Paul, George & Ringo?) pulled off an album filled with strong originals and a couple of covers. Daydream, You Didn't Have To Be So Nice and Didn't Want To Have To Do It are all among the best songs that the band wrote and performed. Although not their finest effort, Daydream demonstrated that the band had more than a handful of hit singles in them...
