Smooth MOR vocalist Johnny Mathis notched up his seventeenth US top twenty album with Tender is The Night. His future chart appearances would be much more sporadic. (US:13)
"Collaborating once again with arranger/conductor Don Costa, Mathis is heard on a typical collection of ballads that recall his earlier work on Columbia. Movie songs dominate this album with the balance filled with Broadway show tunes, the obligatory standard and a pair of original songs."
"Tender Is The Night exhibits his vocal range as much as anything he ever did."
"Takes you to another world....a sweet, tender, in-love world."
"This LP has many great songs on it, Laura, No Strings, I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Tender Is The Night and many more. This was Johnny at his best, when he first started out. He still sounds great to me, but maybe not as great as here."
"Hauntingly beautiful. I have never heard this before, though I think that I own all his albums. Have adored this man for 50 years." "This is perfection, a superb singer, a great arrangement, what more can I say."
"Laura, is a beautiful film that could not be made today. Hollywood lacks the talent, the Johnny Mathis version is the best of the song. This is music at its finest. What a beautiful rendition. Johnny Mathis and orchestra do the ballad justice."
"Somewhere from West Side Story is a lovely song and made better by Johnny's singing it."
"Laura is one of Johnny Mathis' most beautiful songs, among so many others that I have. He does this so sympathetically, and with such wonderful feeling, it's just so beautifully done."
