David Campbell was living in New York City in the 1990s and it's there he discovered the work of John Bucchino. The two become friends and have worked together since. This is their first collaborative album. [4]
Ben Neutze of The Daily Review gave the album 3.5 out of 5 saying; "Campbell has reunited with long-time collaborator John Bucchino for an album covering music from the New York composer’s career; from his work on Broadway, off-Broadway and even his music for the DreamWorks animated film Joseph: King of Dreams. It’s an intimate affair, with Campbell’s vocals and Bucchino’s piano accompaniment the only instruments on the album, bringing to life the “new standards” Bucchino has written for cabaret artists over the last few decades. His songs are undeniably theatrical, but all work as standalones, existing in their own, individual worlds." adding "The blues-infused What You Need is a thrilling masterclass in vocal storytelling; raw and intimate, and perfectly in-step with Bucchino’s accompaniment. Puddle of Love sees the pair tackle jazz with a stunning solo from Bucchino, and Better Than I evokes the best of ‘90s power ballads." [5]
Jacqui James of Gigs n Interviews said; "The album is David using his versatile voice conveying complete happiness ("Taking The Wheel") to utter heartbreak ("If I Ever Say I’m Over You") with John’s mesmerising piano capturing the mood brilliantly with each track. Unlike most albums released these days, David Campbell Sings John Bucchino has a very natural and organic sound throughout the eleven tracks. So it’s refreshing to basically listen David and John sitting in your living room or bedroom performing for you, giving an intimate experience." [6]
