Reception
William Ruhlmann of AllMusic said "particularly on the side-ending "I Can't Give You Anything but Love," while Faith's strings provide lush, wistful underpinnings to the often-sad sentiments of the ballads on the second side. Bennett matches the arrangements with his vocal performances, keeping pace with the jazzy horns or soaring above the sweet strings"[1]
Billboard identified the album as a "Review Spotlight on Pouplar Albums" in its review from February 1957, stated "he sings a dozen standards, backed by modern and tasteful arrangement by Ray Conniff"[6]
