A Midsummer's Day Dream is treasured by collectors as one of the more perfect blends of soft
pop and surf pop, with appropriately accenting vibraphones and French
horns, pseudo-studio jazzy/soft pop melodies, "bah bah bah" harmonies,
and moody string arrangements reminiscent of Curt Boettcher's productions of Sagittarius and the Millennium. Eric's charming, somewhat imperfect falsetto (in a somewhat obvious homage to Brian Wilson) hints at a subterranean layer of loneliness throughout. His self-penned, broken-hearted Beach Boys-style ballads (think Pet Sounds/Friends)
are, in fact, the perfect vehicle for his faltering upper-register
voice. Highlights include "California Home" (about a homesick airplane
flight away from L.A.); an end-of-summer lament, "Where Do the Girls of
the Summer Go"; and "Don't Cry Over Me," with its gorgeous blend of
harmonic filigree and sophisticated studio sheen. Eric -- who as an actor appeared on TV's The Partridge Family as the pal of Snake -- apparently never recorded another album.allmusic
