Somewhere My Love was bandleader Ray Conniff's highest placed LP on the US album chart. The title track was a US No. 9 hit and won a Grammy for best pop vocal group. (US:3 UK:34)
"The lushest of all Conniff's albums, this one features the theme from Dr. Zhivago."
"This was probably Ray Conniff's best selling album of all time. The sound quality and performance is exceptional. Conniff also shows that he has a sense of humour with his cover of Rolf Harris' Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport."
"Amazing how in the old days the albums had great tracks throughout the whole record. Now you are lucky if you get more that two good songs per album. Great easy listening."
"This sounds like what you hear when you get into some elevators. It is a collection of songs, mostly from movies, made popular by others and rendered by the Ray Conniff Singers. They do a good job but the results are not like the originals. I suspect they were never intended to compete with the originals. This is not bad. The quality is good but it is somewhat homogenized."
"Featuring a great variety in the song selections. Of course, Somewhere My Love is Ray's most successful recording ever, and one of my personal favourites of all time, For real variety, compare these selections to the light heartedness of King Of The Road and Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport."
"Easy listening at it's best, most tracks are well known and hummable or sing-a-long to. Only one duff track, Tie Me Kangaroo Down. Americans trying to do Aussie, no way! Leave it to Rolf."
"This is just about the best of Ray Conniff. An excellent choice of songs well performed by RC singers. A must for any easy listening collection."
"Wouldn't have dared listened to this as a kid unless I was alone in the house. But it always hit me dead in the heart."
