If he'd never recorded anything else, this album alone would have assured Nat King Cole's place in musical history. As it is, it marks the apotheosis of this truly gentle man's talent: tender, melancholy, wistful, pensive. . .this is no cheesy sentiment, but pure romance. The first three tracks are standards he has made absolutely his own, that lesser talents (and there have been many) cover at their peril; and while the remaining tracks don't quite reach that high watermark on their own, taken together they create a complete mood piece that, despite being released before the album fully came into its own, prefigured the virtues of the form and demands to be heard as a whole.
