Frampton's self-deprecation and willingness to take responsibility for his choices win readers over....[Do You Feel Like I Do] is full of appealing anecdotes involving the many musical favorites with whom Frampton has played... his determination is inspiring. Frampton provided a soundtrack for a generation; here's the story...Entertaining and rousing, on the stage and now on the page, Frampton Comes Alive."--Library Journal

"Cleverly framed."
--PopMatters

"Frampton's optimistic attitude comes through..., making it a case study in what happens when dogged determination is paired with immense talent."
--American Songwriter

"Frampton's renowned gift for songwriting translates to storytelling, and his vivid, conversational style lends this memoir the intimacy of a coffee shop chat -- just you, Peter Frampton, and the pressing question: 'Do you feel like I do?'"--Nashville Scene

"It's a fascinating read that takes you at a steady clip from Frampton's childhood memories through his days as a teen prodigy to the moment he first realized being cute could be the bane of his existence, meeting Jimi Hendrix, forming Humble Pie, cutting Frampton Comes Alive!, and every high and low along the way to his farewell tour."--USA Today

"Many fascinating tidbits and tales."
--Magzter

"[Peter Frampton] writes about his peaks and valleys in rock 'n roll and beyond with both candor and grace."--High Times

"[A] pull-no-punches autobiography....Fun stories are plentiful." --Vintage Guitar

"[A] charming memoir. Frampton's story is a low-key epic without any self-aggrandizing....There's a gracefulness and kindness to Frampton's story, although it has its dark chapters. It's a rock solid memoir that, from beginning to end, is a lively journey.

"A rare behind the scenes look at a man destined for stardom and musical greatness.... Frampton's bio reads like a who's who from the 1960's British Invasion.... Do You Feel Like I Do is not a dark expose, but the revelations are rather candid.... Much like his cherished 'Phenix', Frampton's life story is about resurrection, overcoming adversity, beating the odds, and finding balance in his life. Show us the way, Peter!"--Holy City Sinner

"A rollickingly fun read....Frampton unflinchingly takes the reader behind the scenes, strips away the veneer of stardom, and is able to give insight into what it's been like to be this kid from South London who became a rock giant. There's loads of humor, as well as naivete...you're left with the feeling Frampton cannot believe the bonkers journey life has taken him on. An articulate autobiography from someone obviously in love with music."--Classic Rock Review

"Every once in a while, a book falls in your lap that makes you laugh, makes you cry, and leaves you feeling utterly inspired....Do You Feel Like I Do?...is an intriguing, yet supremely humble, assemblage of a life....It's quite fun to read this cleverly written book and shift through the multiple collaborations and friendships Peter Frampton developed over the years....There is a conversational air to how Frampton writes, making you feel as though he's telling these stories, from childhood to coronavirus, to you and only you....Little seemed to be off the table....Peter Frampton comes across as your next door neighbor who you chat with over tea after you've found yourself locked out of your house during a snowstorm: inviting, transparent, and easygoing. And, of course, a musician through and through."--The Aquarian
