***Addictions: Volume 2*** is the second compilation album by English singer [Robert Palmer](/source/Robert_Palmer), released in 1992. The album contained noted songs that Robert Palmer had from his [Island Records](/source/Island_Records) albums *[Riptide](/source/Riptide_(album))*, *[Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley](/source/Sneakin'_Sally_Through_the_Alley)*, *[Pressure Drop](/source/Pressure_Drop_(album))*, *[Double Fun](/source/Double_Fun)*, *[Secrets](/source/Secrets_(Robert_Palmer_album))*, *[Clues](/source/Clues_(Robert_Palmer_album))* and *[Pride](/source/Pride_(Robert_Palmer_album))*.[2] This compilation has most of its songs being either remixed, remade, revoiced, or with early fades, with the exception of songs 10 and 14.

## Critical reception

Upon its release, [David Quantick](/source/David_Quantick) of *[NME](/source/NME)* felt the compilation would not repeat the success of its 1989 predecessor *[Addictions: Volume 1](/source/Addictions:_Volume_1)* as although "it too demonstrates Palmer's eclecticism, [it] is less interesting". He described it as a "slightly inessential album" with only "two top songs": the "charming smoky ballad" "She Makes My Day" and "I Dream of Wires", the latter of which Quantick considered "so odd that it makes 'Low' sound like Sonia".[3] [Stephen Thomas Erlewine](/source/Stephen_Thomas_Erlewine) was noted that "all [the] tracks are quite good" and the album overall "sound[s] great", but was disapproving of the fact that many of the tracks presented "ha[ve] been remixed, remade, or [feature] new vocal tracks", resulting in it failing to be an "accurate retrospective".[4]
