Best Of showcases many of laid back vocalist Dean Martin's best known songs from his Capitol years in the fifties. Many of the tracks have an Italian theme. (US:95 UK:9)
"His major Capitol hits are included along with some terrific lesser known efforts. Dean had a reputation for not being too serious about things but these tracks unlock a well kept secret. When Dean walked into the recording studio, he was all business. He was a wonderful singer who, for all his success, remains under appreciated."
"This is an excellent compilation of songs that keeps Dean in our hearts and in our thoughts. These are the songs that almost everyone will associate Dean Martin with. When Dean's name is brought into a conversation you immediately start to hum to yourself songs like That's Amore, Memories Are Made Of This, Return To Me and the unforgettable Volare. It'll even give you a taste of some of the classic Italian songs Dean recorded during his career. He just always seemed so relaxed whether he was singing or acting. I've been a very big fan of Dean for years."
"Dean Martin's voice is much like satin, smooth to listen to, yet exuding the mood of his songs to perfection. The entire LP is great for anyone who may have heard of him, such as in the Rat Pack, or may have appreciated one of his hits such as Amore. This collection demonstrates what an incredible performer he truly was, with a velvet voice that was extremely underrated when compared to the success of his fellow Rat Packer Frank Sinatra. Although it is not by any means just for oldies' fans, it is relaxing and wonderful to hear."
"Dean Martin was clearly one of the greatest male vocalists of the entire twentieth century. This album is a fine introductory LP for people just discovering Dean's artistry and who enjoy classic pop vocals."
"The perfect blend of blissful melodies juxtaposed with heart-wrenching lyrics all tied together with the voice that cannot be imitated. Buy this album if you only buy one Dean Martin album in your lifetime. But why would you buy only one?"
