CD ReviewsDon't bother T. H VonZabern | Boston, MA, USA | 08/07/2004 (2 out of 5 stars) "Tired remakes of better earlier releases, made in the twilight of Dinah's career when her voice had but a fraction of its earlier power and stamina. It's painful to hear her wobble her way through a shortened soft-soap version of "I'll close my eyes", and to hear her impaired intonation on the high notes. My advice is, to choose from the many excellent albums out there. "Jazz Round Midnight" and "Dinah Washington Sings Standards", both by Verve are good ones, and "The Fats Waller Songbook" and "Dinah!", both by EmArcy are top notch. Any of these albums will give you a much better representation of Ms. Washington's incredible versatility, awesome expressive powers, and unmatched ability to seamlessly integrate with an instrumental group of any size or composition." Essential Ballad Collection FMJ | 05/04/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "These songs were done toward the end of Dinah's career and are somewhat overproduced. However, her phrasing and emotion that she is known for is there. A couple of the tracks cannont be found on any other compilation, namely her haunting version of "What's New." A must for Dinah fans. Kudos to Roulette for the selections."
