Big Girls Don't Cry is an album by American music duo The Weather Girls, released in 1985. It was the group's final album on Columbia Records,[1]. The music drew on influences from 1960's sounds. It was less successful than its predecessor, Success (1983).[2]
Writing for AllMusic, Ron Wynn gave a mixed review to the record, describing the songs on it as "formula pop-soul and dance filler." Wynn also stated that group "never really were allowed to showcase their real personalities or styles."[1] Music critic Robert Christgau thought that the duo "takes it one step further and make soul a cartoon, with the title cut the masterstroke." Christgau further commented: "They'll cop material anywhere--debut single's from Jesse Winchester. And if at first their tricks seem inspired, by the time you get to Creedence and Neil Sedaka they're beginning to sound obvious."[3]
