Mr. Wonderful
Mr. Wonderful is the second studio album by British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 23 August 1968. This all-blues album was broadly similar to their debut album, albeit with some changes to personnel and recording method. The album was recorded live in the studio with miked amplifiers and PA system, rather than plugged into the board. A horn section was introduced; and Christine Perfect of Chicken Shack was featured on keyboards. In the USA, the album was not issued under the name Mr. Wonderful, though around half of the tracks appeared on English Rose.-Wikipedia
Critic Reviews

Ultimate Classic Rock
Horns and piano occasionally add a sweet jazzy flavor to the mix. The entire album sounds homemade, which works .

All Music
A disappointment following their promising debut. So much of the record was routine blues.

Classic Rock Review
It has not stood up as well critically or commercially, although there are some real gems on the album.
-
Sputnik Music
Same as the first album,but the filler is even more glaring.

Seattle PI
Mr. Wonderful was a competent, if not exceptional album
-
Maggie Felisberto
Mr. Wonderful is nice, but sadly not wonderful.
-
Demonzone
It is a solid continuation of the previous album and really shows the band doing what this line did best. Unfortunately, this is also the albums biggest downfall.

FYE
Peter Green, the band's major talent at this point, did not deliver original material on the level of the classic singles. So much of the record was routine blues.

Slacker
The best of the lot, perhaps, is "Love That Burns," with its mournful, minor-key melody and sluggish, responsive horn lines.
