's second album is ever so slightly more sophisticated than its predecessor. Although is hooked around a pair of hit singles, 'Sweet Little Sixteen' and 'Rock & Roll Music,' most of what's here doesn't really sound too much like either of those songs -- rather, the other ten tracks each constitute a close-up look at some individual component of the types of music that goes into brewing up the sound. Thus, the slow instrumental 'Blue Feeling' is a look at the blues sound that initially proposed to bring to Chess Records; 'How You've Changed' presents him in a slow ballad, singing in a manner closer to than to any rock & roller of the era; and 'Lajaunda' shows off his love of Latin music. 'Rocking at the Philharmonic' is a rippling guitar/piano workout, a compendium of the sounds that lay beneath those hit singles, and a killer showcase not only for, but also for at the ivories, and also a decent showcase for 's bass playing.

'Oh Baby Doll' is a return to the beat of 'Maybellene,' this time carrying a lyric that's more sensual (in a bluesy sense) than rollicking fun, though it comes out that way amid the pounding beat and 's crunchy, angular guitar solo. 'Guitar Boogie' is yet another guitar instrumental, one of four on this album, leading one to wonder if he was running short of first-rate lyrics in mid-1957, amid his frantic pace of recording and touring -- no matter, for the piece is a killer track, a pumping, soaring working out for 's guitar that had some of the most impressive pyrotechnics that one was likely to hear in 1957; what's more, the track was good enough to form the template for 's more ornate adaptation, 'Jeff's Boogie,' from the 1966 album (aka aka Over Under Sideways Down). The best of the album's tracks is easily 'Reelin' & Rockin',' which is also just about the dirtiest song that released in all of the 1950s (and for many years after that), essentially a blues-boogie recasting, on a more overt level, of the extended feats of sexual intercourse alluded to in 's 'Rock Around the Clock.'
