The closest Stafford ever came to being a jazz singer. This early '60s release had instrumental touches and a jazz tone, and Stafford sang with more energy and less gimmickry. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Yes, Love Songs is a compilation targeted toward the Valentine's Day market. And how many Johnny Mathis albums, really, could not be said to consist primarily of "love songs"? But actually, this is a little more interesting than it could have been, since it's not just a collection of some hits and favorites with rearranged sequencing. Only one ...

Record-buying etiquette suggests that if Peggy Lee's The Singles Collection is overly long (in fact, it's a four-disc box set), The Best of the Singles Collection will then logically include all of her best recordings and become the obvious choice for listeners wishing to test the waters. That's not quite the case, however, and it's mostly due to ...
