Part of Bennett's late-in-life comeback to commercial success, it achieved gold record status in the United States and won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance in 1993.

Sony Music Distribution included this CD in a box set entitled The Complete Collection, which contains fifty-eight of his studio albums, 4 compilation, three DVDs, six volumes of Bennett’s non-album singles, a previously unreleased CD of his Las Vegas debut from 1964, and two discs of rarities, including Bennett’s first recording, an Army V-Disc of “St. James Infirmary Blues, and was released on November 8, 2011.
