Writing about the album, the Grimsby Telegraph said that Leslie Bricusse "has become a great fan of Gary’s voice" and quoted him saying: "Songs like these make you want the ghosts of Mel Tormé and Matt Monro to come back and sing them. Until they do, Gary Williams is their worthy guardian. Michael Buble please note!"[1]
Nick Wakeman reviewing for Musical Theatre Review gave the album 5 stars and said: "Williams is a consummate cabaret artist whose delivery is immaculate. These aren’t carbon copies of the original, he doesn’t try to be Sinatra or Martin but gives his own interpretation. Sometimes that could go too far but he always manages to reign it in and keep the essence of the original – which is very clever."[2]
