I Don't Want to Lose You Baby was
Chad & Jeremy's fourth new album to be released within 14 months, which may help to explain the thinness of the material.
Van McCoy contributed another Top 40 hit in the somewhat overwrought title track, and the duo went back to Rodgers & Hammerstein for a singles chart entry with the ballad "I Have Dreamed" from The King and I. Elsewhere, the catalogs of American folkies (
Bob Dylan,
Phil Ochs) were once again plundered. Clearly, it was time for
Chad & Jeremy to re-assess their musical direction, a fact the album's disappointing sales performance only underscored. ~ William Ruhlmann
