"This is just straight bebop by two of its greatest practitioners. The instrumental performances can't be beat, though the overly simplistic arrangements leave it behind many other jazz classics in my mind." Reply

"Good album with great vocals, they are something that makes this record special among other 50s music in that style." Reply
"Un Poco Loco is a real standout track on this album. My first impression is that the rest is less interesting, at least compared to his adventurous peer, Thelonious Monk." Reply
"A really nice album by the chanson master. The only thing that fails to me is that sometimes it gets a bit repetitive, and maybe that's because of my terrible french. This, probably makes it difficult to fully appreciate the songs." Reply
"Mr. Monk was a true jazz genius!" Reply
"For a long time I've mixed up "La vie en rose" and "Non je ne regrette rien," the latter is the one in Inception, the former is in WALL-E" Reply
