Reception

[edit]

Billboard called the album a first-rate LP outing and stated that "It's a dreamy ballad set that showcases the artist's meaningful singing syle against classy backgrounds of strings and piano fills.[3]

Cash Box claimed stated that the handling of melody have become the chanter's trademarks and elevated him to the upper rank of class performers.[4]

The Ottawa Journal called it a nice set for night a dreamy 'atmosphere and songs that are sweet and slow[5]

The Oshkosh Northwestern describes it as "Most of the 12 tracks are not well-known, but Damone could make them popular, "The Very Thought of You" stands out as best.[6]

The Hamilton Spectator said that Damone "shows himself the master of this ballad class."[7]
