Released in 1963 only six months after The Barbra Streisand Album, The Second Barbra Streisand Album was nominated for a Grammy for Best Engineered Recording. Jule Styne, who wrote the score to Funny Girl, also wrote the liner notes included on the back cover of this album. He wrote: “Barbra knows what she is singing, knows what lyrics mean … I have never been as thrilled as I was listening to this new album.”
