The soundtrack album starts with the west coast jazzy "A Pair of Boobie-Traps", which alternates between medium ensemble swing and novelty music.

Lush, romantic love music with instrumentation that certainly recalls Mancini comes next in "Lonely Afternoon", with sighing strings and smooth, plaintive trumpet playing. Then, of course, a soft, lilting exotica beat with just a hint of reverby electric guitar and gentle reeds taking the melody.

Then the Picardy Singers take on Jimmy Webb's title song, which is very "1960s", leaning in the direction of acid rock but with both feet firmly planted in radio pop territory.

Sad flute and trumpet say "And Then, Goodbye", building in intensity when the string section takes over. The melody is a rearrangement of "Lonely Afternoon", as is the case with the next song, "Son of the Beach".

"Bugged" introduces a note of urgency with frantically bowed strings. Then there's great alto sax playing, accompanied by airy and precise drumming.

The title song gets a bluesy mutation for the instrumental "Face Up to It Baby" and then we're into another soft, slightly exotic, very "'60s" dance number for "The Shortage of Minis", which uses xylophone and trombone.

Fluttery and feathery drumming introduce the waltz time "Villa Sweet Villa", which has more great alto sax playing as well as an achingly romantic violin feature.

"Jenny" is a bossa nova with flute playing a surprisingly staccato melody.

The "Montage from How Sweet It Is" brings back The Picardy Singers for a silly kind of love song which alternates between 4/4 and 3/4.

An interesting, arpeggiated electric guitar part and sort of spy jazz flute part make the last cue, "Beach Ball", one of the best. Again, very "'60s", but really nice!
