Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer from legendary vocalist Nat King Cole, comprises a collection of old time songs and similar. It contains the US top twenty hit singles That Sunday That Summer and the title track. Nat purists were none too happy with this choice of material. (US:14)
"Most of the disc features significant and often-overpowering background vocals and the same general pace to the songs, but its a pleasing and jubilant album that can be thrown on any summer BBQ."
"Cole sounds obstinately blissful on the album, which fits the tone and pace of each track faultlessly. Is ideal for the scene found on the LP cover."
"The Lazy-Hazy album was a little corny here and there but still very enjoyable."
"It wasn't one of Cole's more inspired efforts, but he took to the concept with enthusiasm and produced a disc full of catchy, light-hearted performances in the same mood as the hit title track."
"The album is by and large held in low esteem by purists, it was a big hit all the same. Was the material worthy of the singer? Probably not, but Nat King Cole could make any song sound good."
"This is a collection of turn-of-the-20th century 'chestnuts' and newer material of a compatible spirit."
"Nat had a tenderness in his voice, completely flawless. He could never deliver a bad tune, his style and signature of making a song his own has never been duplicated."
