"Cleo sings ballads and jazz standards with style and grace. Especially fine are the title track, "Tenderly", and "Imagination". A favorite in my collection."

"Did you ever hear a piano make love to a singer's voice? This is what you'll hear when you hear this one. Here you have this sexy,breathless voice and this tinkling piano, just giving you tune after tune of heart grabbing music. It's definitely "night music". It's WOW! Just WOW!"
Luscious music......

"When you think of female jazz vocalists, what names come to mind? Often, you hear Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington. Well, add another name to the list--Cleo Laine. This beautiful, British songbird is phenomenally talented and I am surprised that we haven't heard more of her, and that her name isn't more well-recognized. Her lower register is flawless, sexy and carries the grace and the depth of the songs, featured here, with minimal accompaniment (just subtle chords from her pianist). Some of the best songs (in my opinion) include "That Old Feeling" and "Ain't Misbehavin'". The rest of the songs don't fail to disappoint either! Just beautiful."

"If you have ever sat alone in the darkened corner of a cocktail lounge day dreaming about a warm romantic interlude with the beautiful young lady sitting at the piano, this album will take you back to that memory and the warmth of that innocent affair. Memories recalled are a precious gift."
