"The two LP's represented here were already some of the best sounding music in my collection. Now comes the CD version, which leaves out three pieces, for space considerations I think. This is the supreme Percy Faith collection. It has his trademark written all over it. It has some of his own compositions. His inimitable way with strings... his teasingly delicate piano sub-chords. His hauting SONG FROM MOULIN ROUGE. Beautiful, respectful renditions of BEYOND THE SEA and DEEP PURPLE. Well-recorded and very well played. If I were to lose my PF collection and someone told me: "You can only have one", this is what I would keep. Music for dreaming with eyes wide open. Bravo."
Bouquet of Music

"Remember the days when you could turn on the radio and hear "beautiful music?" Percy Faith was a staple of this "good music" sound and this CD which compiles two of his lush string orchestral LPs,is a treat for the ears.There are many familiar American pop standards given the Percy Faith treatment here, including his hit Song From Moulin Rouge. Other selections include Laura, Deep Purple, Ebb Tide, Fascination, Blue Moon, If I Loved You, and Stella By Starlight. When you turn this CD on get ready to be romanced by an audio bouquet of sound! The only problem with this CD is that three songs from the LP were left out due to time factors. Sad, but what IS on the CD is impressive nonetheless!"
Nice but incomplete Percy Faith CD!

"This Percy Faith CD is incomplete from the original albums.How I wished that the producers should have made this CD album into two separate CDs..i.e. "Bouquet" and "Bouquet of Love" the missing songs from this album are the following "Out Of This World". Music Until Midnight" and "Concentration".but I still gave them 5 stars because of the ingenious instrumental style of Percy Faith...perhaps a few dollars refund would be in order for the missing selections.enjoy!"
Almost Perfect Presentation

"Two of Percy's best string albums finally released....but Bouquet of Love is missing three cuts from the original album. Because of that, I can not give the release 5 stars. If you have to cut some tunes, why bother to release both of them on one disc????? Regardless, it is still worth getting. This is Faith string arranging at its best. Hopefully future Faith releases will include the missing cuts."
