Critical Reception[]
Entertainment Weekly gave the album a "D", writing that it's "lacking the subtlety and nuance that balanced the Chairman’s larger-than-life persona" and that "his one-dimensional readings mainly remind us what a singular talent Sinatra was."
AllMusic's Michael Gallucci gave the album a three-star rating, writing: "Indeed, there's nothing offensive about Manilow's takes on these classics; he pulls them off with class and style. But they've been done before, with more class and more style. And well-intentioned as this album may be, it's ultimately an unnecessary excursion."
