"Despite stumbling through his dialogue, Jack Jones is unequalled by any singer (and I mean "singer", not "screamer") I have heard in many years.His renderings of "A Child is Born", "Hopeless Romantic" and "This is all I Ask" are the best I've had the pleasure of hearing!Jones' version of "Music of the Night" is one I will adore forever! In his own romantic style, he captures the very meaning of this song, demonstrating his incredible vocal range.Anyone who loves great singers should have this albulm!!!!"

Good Jack Jones, but not his greatest work

"Jack Jones has been blessed with a great voice and a career that has spanned several decades. I first became aware of him back in the 1970's, when I picked up a couple of his lp's at the recommendation on the now defunct "Stereo Review." Even though Mr. Jones has been around for quite a while, he is still in fine voice. Even his most recent productions give no evidence that he is over the hill. There is some likeable material on this CD; and if you are a fan of his, you might enjoy picking up this disc. But if you have just recently discovered Jack Jones and are looking for his best material, I suggest you try "A Tribute to Tony Bennett" or "I Am A Singer." You have to recognize a consistent characteristic of a Jack Jones album: it usually covers a variety of material and a variety of styles. Be prepared to find yourself liking some songs and wanting to hit the "skip button" on others. Those moments when everything clicks makes it worth the effort to add his CD's to your collection."
