All The Way comprises a retrospective collection of singles and B-sides from the last years Frank Sinatra spent at Capitol records. He would soon set up his own record label Reprise. (US:4)
“At this point Sinatra was singing pointless pop songs whilst under the illusion that Elvis was just a passing fad. I gave it an extra half score because he still has the voice.”
“As a compilation, by definition it lacks the thematic unity of his best albums from this period. However, four of the dozen songs are by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, including the title track and High Hopes. Along with Witchcraft these are the three best songs on the album. You will also find an interesting take on another kiddie song, Ol' MacDonald, which is done as a sort of jazzy farmer's daughter joke.”
“All The Way was composed by Sammy Cahn, famous for several songs, including High Hopes. Frank Sinatra also sang that little hit. His voice is world class, so you won't be disappointed.”
