"This CD, issued in 1991, contains material not found on any other Blossom Dearie outing: 1)I Don't Remember; 2)Ev'ryboy Loves Jobim; 3)I thought I Heard a Hummingbird; 4)The Quiet Time; 5)My Love Went to London; 6)I Did it All for You; 7)Not You Again; 8)Blossom; 9)Love is on the Way; 10)Fred Astaire; 11)A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square. Even though I own nearly everything Ms. Dearie has recorded, I have to acknowledge, in all honesty, this is not one of her greatest recordings. If you are a Blossom fan, buy it. But if you are just in the initial stages of getting acquinted with her music, or if you are on a limited budget, there are other CD's to try first."
Obscure recording, brilliant work

"This is a rare, less commercially known album from Blossom on her independent Daffodil label. Last I heard, it was available only from her website, blossomdearie.com, it was almost sold out and out of print. If you have a chance to get this one, don't wait too long!This album was produced in 1991, in an era when Blossom involves more sophisticated orchestral arrangements, and a more modern, refined overall sound. The production is first class, and Blossom's voice is crisp and brilliant. This is one of my very favourite albums from Blossom. This is sure to become a treasured collector's item for her fans."
