The excellent Morning Glory Daze: Universal Soft Rock Collection, Vol. 2 mines the riches of the Uni label vaults to compile 23 vintage AM radio hits and lost classics from the heyday of sunshine pop. The "soft rock" appellation is a bit of a misnomer here, as some of this material (like the Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Pretty Song from Psych-Out" and the Pleasure Fair's "Come to the Sunshine") boasts a strongly psychedelic dimension that wouldn't seem too out of place in the Nuggets series. Still, the uniformly radiant harmonies and lush orchestral arrangements wonderfully capture the more tranquil side of late-'60s pop -- sweet but never syrupy, these songs have not only aged remarkably well, but they've arguably held up better than the more revolutionary, mind-expanding work of their contemporaries. Other highlights include the Twinn Connexion's "Turn Down Day" and Brian Hyland's "On the East Side." ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
