Untitled is the second album by the American pop rock duo The Rembrandts.[6][3][7] It was released in 1992 on East West Records.

"Johnny, Have You Seen Her?" peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart,[8] but unlike the duo's previous and subsequent albums, Untitled failed to chart in the U.S.

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "while the subject matter – mainly songs of yearning and lost love – hasn't changed much since the debut, the subtle string arrangements and minor-key melodies blend quite nicely, bringing out the themes more fully."[4] The Los Angeles Times called the album "a lush Beatles-influenced collection."[3] Phoenix New Times wrote that, occasionally, the band's "considerable pop smarts give way to cutesy pretension."[2]
