Easy listening Andy Williams maintained a consistent presence on the upper reaches of the US album chart throughout the 1960s. Dear Heart contains the UK No. 2 hit single Almost There, after which the UK version of the LP was titled. (US:4)
"This classic LP offers an interesting snapshot of the changing pop music scene in the mid-'60s, as well as Andy Williams' ability to adapt to it. Dear Heart largely contains ballad standards, warmly executed in the traditional pop style. Highlights include the tender Emily, Almost There and Andy's hit version of the Henry Mancini title track."
"Andy Williams possesses the ability to lead his adoring audiences wherever he wants them to go using his superb voice and the warm, positive 'vibes' he sends to his fans."
"He gets right to the point with You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You, gracing the melody with his effortless bravado."
"Almost There is a mellow ballad about a love affair that becomes a true and everlasting love; Andy sings this with all his heart and soul. The musical interlude sports a beautiful arrangement for the strings and percussion - love it."
"Andy Williams has been, is, and always will be my favourite singer. His soft, caressing voice is one of the most beloved in the world; as usual he is perfect in this rendition of many old favourites."
"This LP shows off Andy Williams as a brilliantly versatile performer. His ability to handle music of varying styles is one reason why he has endeared himself to millions for decades."
