9. (I’m A) Road Runner
“Frampton was walking a tightrope with this album, a fine line between catering to his teenybopper fandom and yet still wishing to further his rock-star credentials. In the end, although the album was commercially successful on first release, he satisfied neither faction and soon found himself back where he was in the early 70’s with his future behind him.”
8. Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)
“Despite the passing years and the many changes in musical styles since it was released, I still enjoy many of the songs on this album, and would certainly recommend it to anyone who appreciates Frampton’s music and recognises that there is a lot more to his work than loud stadium rock.”
7. Rocky’s Hot Club
“All in all, this is one of Frampton’s last inspired breaths of fresh air. With guests like Stevie Wonder (playing the best harmonica I’ve ever heard — on “Rocky’s Hot Club”) and Mick Jagger (back-up on choruses), it’s easy to see the faith many had in this album. It is a shame he never delivered a live set of these songs — no doubt they would have rivaled the material on “Frampton Comes Alive”. If only.”
6. You Don’t Have to Worry
“Hat’s off to one of the best singer songwriters there is in music, also probably and easily one of the top guitar players of time! No one can play guoitar and sing like Peter. Oh, one last thing, noone has ever connected to an audience like this man neither, the numbers of Peter Frampton Comes Alive speak for themselves!”

5. St. Thomas (Don’t You Know How I Feel)
“This is where Frampton showcases his enviable guitarsmanship, sense of color, and sublime handling of structure, arranging and singing. Far superior in these areas to almost anything he had written before, Frampton brings out some of his most soulful vocals and an effortless passion in writing and performing. “

4. I’m in You
” Rather than opening with an upbeat track, the album’s first song was the memorable synthesizer-laden ballad ‘I’m in you’, which I had first heard as a solo piano encore at a Frampton concert in late 1976.”
3. (Putting My) Heart on the Line
“Picking up the famous vocoder (for the last time?) the album moves into the boppy rythms of “Putting My Heart On the Line”, a song that may have dated a tad but one that reveals that the late 70’s were still fertile ground for songwriters.”
2. Won’t You Be My Friend
“Aside from the above tracks, Frampton proves he can groove to funk rhythms like the best of them with the slow burner, “Won’t You Be My Friend”, which gradually builds up to become one of the essential moments in the album.”
1. Tried to Love
“Listen closely to the backing vocals on the anodyne “Tried To Love” and you’ll just about hear superstar number two, Mick Jagger, there perhaps to show gratitude for the inclusion of “Jumping Jack Flash” on the mega-platinum “Frampton Comes Alive!”
