"The quality of this CD is flawless. Remastered to perfection and creates the excitement of the days when the singer and orchestra were in the same room (what a concept). Garland's voice is amazing. Her Capitol sessions were always among her best and the combination of the two albums gives the listener a vast array of her vocal and emotional power. No one could, or ever will, come close to what that brilliant woman could do with a song. The CD makes you miss her and also makes you realize she was truly unique. There will never be another one like her."
The Best of Judy in the 50s
Diane A. Barrie | Torrance, CA United States | 08/09/2001

"If you loved Judy's albums of Judy in Love and Judy, then this is the CD to get. They are her best albums of the 50s and in quality sound on a CD. This is truly a gem, as was The Lady herself, to be always treasured."
Great Garland Albums; Remastered from Poor Sources
Diane A. Barrie | 07/20/2004
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Let me begin my review by stating that these happen to be two of the very best albums Judy Garland made at Capitol Records. With the great Nelson Riddle at the helm and Judy in her best 1950s form, how can you lose? EMI, the British label who released these gems, has made a huge mistake in not utilizing the original masters in this release. Instead of the sparking sound that came from previous cd issues of this material (25th Anniversary Retrospective and Classic Garland: Capitol Years 1955-1965, for example.), this release lacks the warmth and sparkle of the original recordings. I would reccommend one of the compilations listed above for superior versions of some of these tracks. Or wait until a future release does justice to these groundbreaking and historic recordings."
THE INCOMPARABLE GARLAND AT HER BEST
Santo Giglio | BROCKPORT, NY | 01/04/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"TWO OF MS. GARLAND'S CAPITOL ALBUMS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS SET AND SHOW HER AT HER VOCAL BEST. HER RECORDING OF "I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE" IS A CLASSIC AND WORTH THE PRICE ALONE. IF ONE NEEDS FURTHER PROOF OF GARLAND'S GREATNESS THESE RECORDINGS ARE A TESTAMENT TO HER GENIUS. FROM BALLADS LIKE "I HADN'T ANYONE TIL YOU" AND "JUST IMAGINE" TO "COME RAIN OR COME SHINE" AND "ZING WENT THE STRINGS OF MY HEART", MS. GARLAND SAILS THROUGH A GREAT SELECTION OF SONGS AS ONLY SHE COULD DO THEM. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CD FOR ANY GARLAND FAN. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HER. THE STARS HAVE INDEED LOST THEIR GLITTER."
