"The title says it all. Very romantic and very nice compilation with very beautiful arrangements. If you want the gitl to fall in love with you, make a nice dinner and Dean Martin will do the rest. "Everybody Loves Somebody" has different arrangement than the one that is known."
Simply the best

"Is there a voice that can be compared with Dino's? Not in my book. This selection is soft and seductive - a perfect compilation of songs for late night listening. It's a great addition to the collections of Dean Martin fans or a welcome treat added to a non-Martin CD library."
A smoothiest and sexiest way to relax

"Ok back to being serious. Not quite sure why I even got this album but I'm glad I did snag it. The title states the content very well. It gives the feeling of seeing Dean Martin in a night/jazz club back in his day. Having 15 tracks you get a 45 minute glimpse through sound to why the man was the ladies man back in his day.
Track 1 Everybody loves somebody is almost just cause enough to buy it. But there's more to this album #2 Imagination #3 I'm yours #4 Baby won't you please come home #5 Dream #6 I wish you love #7 Mean to me #8 I'll buy that dream #9 It's easy to remember #10 let me love you tonight #11 I'm confession'(that I love you) #12 All i do is dream of you #13 My melancholy baby #14 Dream a little dream of me #15 Arrivederci Roma.
If only the ownership of this cd made us just as dapper of a man as Dean."
