Popular Hawaiian night club singer Don Ho achieved his only US top twenty album entry with Tiny Bubbles. His future album releases would be much less successful. (US:15)

"Don Ho and Tiny Bubbles will certainly put you in a paradise frame of mind. If you remember your honeymoon or vacation in Hawaii, this album will spur all those wonderful memories, and maybe you'll want to call your travel agent to plan your next vacation."

"A lot of people hate Don Ho because of childhood memories of schlock; more appropriately, however, he's the next step after Martin Denny." "I was born and raised in Hawaii. I saw Don Ho at Duke Kahanamoku's in the 60s. You had to wait in line to get into his show. If you went to his show, it was a happening thing in Hawaii."

"For those nights when you're drinking alone and wallowing in your own sorrows. Put this on and one of two things will happen: either you'll forget your cares and disappear into the laid back groove of Don Ho, Hawaii's answer to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, or you'll be driven over the edge and commit hara-kiri with a butter knife."

"For many a mainlander, Don Ho will always be the voice of Hawaii, and tunes like Tiny Bubbles will forever accompany many a backyard or rooftop tiki party."

"Relaxing, soft, Hawaiian music. Great to listen to while driving. Reminds me of Hawaii. Don Ho at his best."

"His music does not represent traditional Hawaiian music and can be categorized as lounge lizard commercial."

"Who could forget Tiny Bubbles? Not Me! Mix the mai tais, put on your grass skirt, and rock."
