By 1970's CHANGES, of the original four Monkees only Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones were left. Their participation here is limited to vocals and one Dolenz songwriting credit for "Midnight Train," a song which had actually appeared during the TV show's first season back in 1966.
While CHANGES doesn't compare to classic Monkees albums like PISCES AQUARIUS CAPRICORN AND JONES, LTD., Dolenz's voice is more R&B-influenced than ever, and his lead vocal on Jeff Barry's "Oh My My" is among his best. Jones' contributions are in a pleasant bubblegum style, avoiding the histrionics of some of his earlier efforts. "All Alone in the Dark" is a particular highlight. On its own merits, CHANGES is fine early '70s bubblegum.
