One disappointing number follows another; 'Cheena Re Cheena' (Sunidhi and Arya) is a pedestrian love song and as ordinary as they come. Even Sunidhi fails to lift it with her zestful singing. Akbar Sami does manage to redeem the number somewhat in the remix.
The album ends with 'O Mitra Re', but on a slightly disappointing note. The beginning of this number is very reminiscent of 'O Meri Jaan' from Sunny-Dimple's 'Manzil Manzil'. The brilliant Kunal Ganjawala (initially caught in the 'Bheege Honth' style) seems to be trapped in another one - this one being Himesh's 'Dil Keh Raha Hai' from Salman's 'Kyon Ki' (though he does a good job once again). Maybe, Himesh himself is responsible for this, trying to cash in on the success of the 'Dil Keh Raha Hai' number. Though quite a nice track otherwise, it comes too close to the 'Kyon Ki' number to get its due.
The 'O Mitra Re' remix is a routine job by Akbar Sami, which will however be appreciated by those who patronize remixes, at parties and discos.
On the whole, 'Tom Dick and Harry' is a nice album with two outstanding tracks, 'Jhoom Jhoom' and 'Tanha Jiya Na Jaye'. What is missing is the Himesh consistency, which in a nutshell means consistently good music throughout the whole album.
