National Public Radio (NPR) names "Lesley Gore Sings of Mixed-Up Hearts", Lesley's second album, as forebearer of one of the top 150 albums recorded by women. The album missed the official list (1964-present) because it was released in 1963. "She is a forebear for her assertion of feminine power in pop, and her validation of a female perspective."
