Reviews :
“'Strange Days' was the perfect album for its time. For music lovers at a time when records were the main means by which a generation communicated with its culture, the title, cover art, music and sound resonated with the meaning of the fall of 1967 (even though the album was recorded the previous spring at L.A.s Sunset Sound). 1967s 'Summer of Love' with 'Light My Fire' from The Doors debut album (recorded the previous summer) as its musical anthem had just passed. It was an innocent, celebratory time. Everyone knew something special had happened that summer and the stirrings of further, perhaps momentus change was in the air." Michael Fremer, Analog Planet
"Though it lacks a song as captivating as "Light My Fire," the Doors' second album is nearly as strong as their debut, The Doors, released earlier the same year. A mood of alienation, evident on "Strange Days" and "People Are Strange," carries through to the lengthy closer, "When the Music's Over." Rolling Stone Magazine
“Many of the songs on Strange Days had been written around the same time as the ones that appeared on The Doors, and with hindsight one has the sense that the best of the batch had already been cherry-picked for the debut album. For that reason, the band's second effort isn't as consistently stunning as their debut, though overall it's a very successful continuation of the themes of their classic album. Besides the hit "Strange Days," highlights included the funky "Moonlight Drive," the eerie "You're Lost Little Girl," and the jerkily rhythmic "Love Me Two Times," which gave the band a small chart single. "My Eyes Have Seen You" and "I Can't See Your Face in My Mind" are minor but pleasing entries in the group's repertoire that share a subdued Eastern psychedelic air. The 11-minute "When the Music's Over" would often be featured as a live showstopper, yet it also illustrated their tendency to occasionally slip into drawn-out bombast.” AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger
