"I play this CD all the time and I can't get enough of Dino and his wonderful voice. Each song is done so beautifully and the arrangements are excellent. I would recommend this CD for those who like Dean's slow smooth sounds and also some songs have the latin beat, which gives off the romantic aura when you sit back and just listen. You'll love it!"
A superb, hard-to-find, Dean Martin classic!!!

"all the tracks sound great even though they were remastered using vinyl sources. However, one still wonders how much different or better if they were remastered with the original studio tape recordings. Nevertheless, i recommend it 200%. All the songs are great!!! Truly, vintage Dean!!!"
A fair warning...

"I feel it's only fair to warn everyone that this CD is mastered from vinyl albums, not the tape masters! I will admit that they did a decent job of it, and the material itself is great (especially the cha-cha half), but come on -- surely the tape for these songs exists. Capitol should be ashamed..."
Dean's Best!

"We have the ol' reel-to-reel tape of this CD. But this CD sounded a little bit better though. Nonetheless, this CD is wonderfully arranged, and, of course, you have a wonderfully handsome singer to sing it to you. You can go for hours without getting tired of listening to the songs coz it's so good! By the way, I also recommend Dean's "Hurtin' Country Songs".....singin'... "make the world go away"....."
Return to Dean

"Forget everything you've heard about this compliation being remastered from the vinyl and not the tapes. It may be true, but Dean has never sounded more beautiful. Do NOT pass this up. When my mom saw that I had "Italian Love Songs" on cd she immediately broke our into an off key version of "Pardon (Perdoname)." Only Dean can make the women swoon like this."
