December's Children (and everybody's)
December's Children (And Everybody's) is the fifth American studio album by the Rolling Stones, released in December 1965. Although it largely draws on songs issued earlier in the year in the United Kingdom, the album includes three previously unreleased tunes. It is the last of the group's early albums to feature songs written by others than Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who wrote half of the songs. Most of the album tracks were recorded in September 1965 in Los Angeles during the sessions to finish the UK edition of Out of Our Heads and to record their new single, "Get Off of My Cloud".-Wikipedia

All Music
The last Stones album in which cover material accounted for 50 percent of the content was thrown together from a variety of singles, British LP tracks, outtakes, and a cut from an early 1964 U.K. EP. Haphazard assembly aside, much of it's great

Ultimate Classic Rock
And the music remains an important part of the band's history, caught somewhere between its blues-based origins and the next stage during a period of transition.

very good on its own merits
-
Countdown Kid
a collection that hold up quite well, with a few choice covers and some excellent originals, a few of which show that the Jagger/Richards songwriting partnership had ambitions to challenge Lennon/McCartney on the contemplative side of rock

Alt Rock Chick
I still find December’s Children fascinating and exciting . . . and occasionally exasperating
-
Darren Goossens
So, in short, this little album (29 minutes long, including the live stuff) only has two songs that can’t be sourced elsewhere more sensibly. So it’s a marginal purchase at best

Rolling Stone
England's newest hitmakers expand musically, from acoustic tunes to the pure electric mania of "Route 66."

Keno's Rolling Stone Web Site
an often-overlooked album that deserves to be rediscovered

John McFerrin Music Reviews
Even though the album's at least decent. Were they still good? Sure.
-
Only Solitaire
it is the weakest of all early Stones releases, and the most easily expendable one if you can get most of the good stuff on compilations
-
Don Ignacio
the general 'goodness' of everything else still means that this is an altogether decent album. Decent albums with three great moments on them deserve a 10.
