Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine on AllMusic said that the album is "a good but unexceptional collection that combines some of Ray Conniff's biggest hits with his versions of '60s pop hits." and that "it's an entertaining sampler, featuring nice versions of "Mame," "Sunrise, Sunset," "Cabaret," "Strangers in the Night," "What Now My Love," "Winchester Cathedral," "Georgy Girl," "Born Free" and the title track." ^[4]
