"This is one of Gene Pitney's most beautiful compilations of classic love songs (along with another great album of standards, "Young and Warm and Wonderful").If you know these songs and you know Gene Pitney's voice, and you think he has a way with a ballad, what more could you ask? It's more than beautiful, it redefines many of these songs. Try Gene's "Cara Mia"...superior to the original! Gene and the Platters' hits, "My Prayer" and "Only You" were meant for each other. And Gene's "Unchained Melody" is one of those recordings you can put on "repeat" and just let it play until your heart breaks. It is stunning in its understatement and a profoundly moving closer to this LP. In short, this is pretty near perfect from one of the greatest voices of our lifetime. Buy this with confidence, you couldn't possibly be disappointed."
A Great Collection of Ballads By The Master

"Just the track "Take Me Tonight" alone justifies this collection if you don't have it. Some great covers and original materia from Gene's Musicor period."
