"This is a fantastic series that features many great singers at their finest. The sound of this particular album is artfully remastered. The series has a immediate appeal for many who are not familiar with great jazz vocal classics."
THE SLEEVE IS UGLY

"A sample of the divine one singing the ballads.While there are now many good collections of SARAH on the market,this one focus on ballads.New superlatives are always difficult to find to describe her marvellous voice.Everything is a highlight here;it's an hour of magic perfect for romantic couples who want to relax while playing the games of love.Trying to find a better SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES is impossible.When SARAH takes an hold of a particular song she likes,other singers are often left speechless.SARAH was simply put-here i go with superlatives again-the greatest female singer of her time."
Sarah the Magnificent

"Sarah Vaughan is undoubtedly one of the greatest singers ever. The richness of her vocals, her phrasing, the emotion that shimmers not saturates - nothing short of divine.This was my first recording by Miss Vaughan and the reason I chose it over all the others was the inclusion of "Dreamsville" which is one of my all time favorite songs. This version is now my all time favorite rendition.The sound quality is excellent and there are lots of goodies to choose from - a whopping 16 songs - but other highlights include: "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "Body and Soul" and "I've Got a Crush on You" and..... oh, they're all wonderful.I, too, am a bit baffled by the choice of cover. Why not a picture of the lovely Sarah? hmmm....odd, just odd.Anyway, I highly recommend this CD to Sarah Vaughan fans, those who love classic songs magnificently sung, and anyone who wants to kick back and escape to Dreamsville."
