Review

Mallory Arbour of The AU Review gave the album 8.5 out of 10 questioning at whom this album was targeted, as Campbell's fan would already have the songs on CD before saying, "It’s a mix of swing, classic hits and musical numbers – and I love every minute of it! It not only shows David’s range, but also his clear talent," adding, "David Campbell's The Essential is named rightly so. This album won't disappoint." [2]
