AllMusic[2]

AllMusic's Nick Dedina thought the album finds a middle ground between the ones Nelson Riddle and Billy May crafted for Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole.[2]

In A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers, Will Friedwald describes as "it gets an odd (but not unappealing) military press roll and lots of modulations, ending with Damone socking in to a real high note. There are also two Cahn and Van Heusen orginals, which sound like leftover from a Sinatra concept album.[3]
