I must be the minority...

"First off, Aaron Neville has a beautiful voice, so he gets points for having such a unique voice.However, I found nearly all of this album "Nature Boy" to be way too slow. This is almost sleep-inducing music. I've heard a lot of these standards before and they are not usually done this slow. So I would be listening to a familiar song, waiting for it to pick up anytime now, but it never did. +'s Neville's voice, the selection of familiar songs, Roy Hargrove sounds great as a guest on trumpet/flugelhorn-'s The whole pace of the album. Just generally too s-l-o-w.Overall, I'll have to disagree with the majority and say this one's not worth the money."
Get it - trust me!

"I don't know who in the world would not give this a 5 star rating! This is a CD that you can play from start to finish without skipping past any track. "The Shadow Of Your Smile" is smooth and superb. Each song a jewel. Sleep enducing? I think not! Dream inspiring perhaps. Worth every red cent I paid for it. As for the reviewer's 10 year old daughter who commented "I love this music": Right on sister!"
