What the Critics Say

Another repackaging of disparate material from Cooke's catalog with only nine tracks. None of the hits, but Cooke's delivery of such standards as "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home" and "I Fall in Love Every Day" are all top-notch. Cooke even pens some of the songs here, namely "If I Had You" and "You Belong to Me." The arrangements by, varyingly, Sammy Lowe, Rene Hall, and Billy Mure often swing, but rarely rock like the combos on his singles, as the album was aimed mainly to those who saw Cooke as a pop/swing vocalist more than a rock & roll one. ~ Ted Mills, All Music Guide
