AllMusic Review by Donald A. Guarisco

After scoring success on both the pop and R&B charts in 1972 with It's Just
Begun, the Jimmy Castor Bunch knocked out another album in the same vein
before the year ended. Phase Two adheres closely to the previous album's
formula, right down to using an orchestral instrumental for its intro and
epilogue. As a result, parts of it feel like a re-tread: the standout example of
this problem is "Luther the Anthropoid (Ape Man)," which sports a nice groove
but is a merely a thinly veiled rewrite of "Troglodyte." Despite some uninspired
moments like this, Phase Two makes up for the problem with tight
arrangements and an infectiously funky performance from the band. " "Say
Leroy (The Creature From the Black Lagoon Is Your Father)" mixes Latin rock
with frenzied funk-rock breaks to create a punchy tune that gave the band
another pop hit and "When?" is an effective, fuzz guitar-drenched trip
through the woes of ghetto life. The most unusual and interesting of these
cuts is "Tribute to Jimi: Purple Haze/Foxy Lady," a novel medley that layers
the vocal melody and lyrics of "Foxy Lady" over the tune of "Purple Haze."
The album also does well in its softer moments: "Paradise" is a pleasantly
harmonized ballad and the band's saxophone-led instrumental take on "The
First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is quite pretty. Overall, Phase Two lacks the
strong crossover appeal and original material that made It's Just Begun such a
standout album, but it will definitely appeal to fans of that album.
