"This album is a must for Sedaka fans as well as those new (are there any who are not already fans) to this marvelous singer, songwriter. The songs cover many genres and are absolutely fantastic. Since I own almost every one of his albums and have seen him in concert over 10 times, I had to have this album. It is absolutely fantastic and worth so much more than I paid for it. Five stars is not a high enough rating for this excellent album."
Outstanding ..... Vintage Sedaka

"What an outstanding album !!!! We saw him this past fall in concert and he played two of the songs off this ... his new album. We knew then we wanted it when it finally would get released. All 12 songs are outstanding. From "Do You Remember?" (an outstanding salsa melody) to "You" ( a tear-jerking ballad). Mr. Sedaka takes you on a musical excursion. He even returns to his roots with a doo-wop ditty called "Right or Wrong". If you love Neil Sedaka, you have to own this album. Even if you don't, it is worth every penny spent on it. Thank you, Mr. Sedaka!"
GREAT VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT!

"I ordered three copies of this CD after watching Neil with Mike Huckabee. What a classy performer. I sent the CD's to my sisters as a Valentine's Day gift - perfect music for such a romantic day. Neil is still going strong!!"
Like a magical refrain . . .

"I'm no self-professed music critic. I enjoy listening to Sedaka's smooth voice and to the beautiful arrangements on this album. This album is not the 60's; it has its own personality. A few songs give off the 'Oh Carol' vibe and some have a more modern twist. All the songs are entertaining. I am blown away by the fact that Sedaka wrote all these songs; the lyrics are poetry. Listen to 'Waiting.' If you have been separated from someone dear to you, waited for someone you care about to return from war, famine or flood, 'Waiting' expresses how you feel during those periods of longing. I admit I get a little misty when it plays. Several of the songs are quite moving and channel how all of us feel. Go with the music, listen to his emotional lyrics. It's a very good feeling album."
Excellent

"A Great CD. Wish it were longer. It contains new songs, but the Sedaka sound is still there and brings back memories."
