Tony Bennett's scored a second US album chart success in 1963 with This Is All I Ask. However, lacking a hit single, it stalled at an appreciably lower placing than his two previous releases. (US:24)

"Tony Bennett is an artist who moves the hearts and touches the souls of audiences. He’s not just the singer’s singer but also an international treasure."

"While his voice is sensational - it deepens into something beyond compare by the early 1960s."

"The guy always sounds like he's smiling into the microphone, and that happiness comes through."

"Tony Bennett is strongly recommended for the over thirty crowd looking for a change from the blaring noise usually heard in the top 40." "Tony has an enormous vocal range and excellent phrasing."

“If you hadn't heard Bennett's previous two albums, This Is All I Ask would sound like a varied, satisfying collection, but if you had, you recognized the formula and realized it had been done slightly better before."
