Sings..Of Love & Things was the final Capitol Frank Sinatra album to make a major impact on the charts, and consists of tracks not previously released on LP. (US:15)
“This is a very good collection of Sinatra singles, most of which were not released on studio albums. Hidden Persuasion is simply fabulous and is the gem of this compilation. Love Looks Well On You is a minor masterpiece.”
“I cannot find fault with any of these songs, yet the album as a whole does not come together particularly well. Unlike his best albums, there is no theme to this one. Plus, the musical styles vary all over the map. It is like listening to a bunch of Sinatra on a juke box.”
“In this recording, and especially on The Moon Was Yellow, you begin to hear Frank's voice take on greater expression. He's now coming into his own, taking on that epic proportions voice. Impressive.”
“Superb artistry. The arrangement of The Moon Was Yellow has a Spanish flavour from the guitar and castanets at the beginning to the flourishes of trumpets and trombones toward the end. Throughout this Frank is reflective and intense at appropriate points so as to convey the story of the song.”
