Standing room only as Herb Alpert and the Brass continue their winning streak. SRO includes The Work Song and Mame, both US top twenty hit singles. (US:2 UK:5)
"This has always been my favourite Tijuana Brass album, mainly because it was the jazziest of the group's repertoire. Herb Alpert even takes a nice trumpet solo on the opener Our Day Will Come. This album also illustrates Herb Alpert's incredible arranging skills, something many people have forgotten about. To me, this is the first time the TJB sounded like an actual 'band' instead of a recording group. Well worth picking up."
"This album is considered by many to be the best Tijuana Brass record ever. It certainly is a great recording. Obviously, this is the Brass' most jazziest album yet, recording Nat Adderley's The Work Song, the Dixieland Wall Street Rag, the swinging Mexican Road Race, the standards I Will Wait For You, Flamingo, Our Day Will Come, and the tune made famous by Wes Montgomery, For Carlos, during which the Brass shift time signatures with ease and a nice trombone solo."
"This album really has a group sound to it. All the instruments of The Brass were very well represented, drums, bass, piano and guitar. Basically the whole rhythm section is tight as can be. Herb's trumpet playing is also superb. A brilliant album."
"S.R.O. offers you an excellent assortment of eleven instrumental tracks as well as one song to which they sing the lyrics, Mame. They may not be the greatest singers I ever heard; but their awesome, infectiously catchy melodies and relentless happiness and optimism more than compensate for this disappointment." ,p> "Overall, fans of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass will consider this a 'must-have' for their collection; and people who enjoy classic instrumentals and easy listening will enjoy this album too. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass will remain a strong force in the world of entertainment for quite some while to come because of their numerous superb releases during the 1960s."
