“This is one of the best Dean albums I have. Nelson Riddle helped on this one and it turned out great. None of those odd background vocals on here, just pure Dean and the music is superb. A must for anyone wanting a true Dino sound."

This Time I'm Swingin'! is Dean Martin at his very absolute best. The songs fit the title with perfection, Dean is swingin', backed and masterfully orchestrated by the legendary Nelson Riddle. Dean sings every one confidently and naturally. An unforgettable recording from the all time great crooner.”
