Unlike rock albums from this period those by MOR artists have not been treated so well by posterity and are largely overlooked, and not just by music critics. Although a big seller in its day This Is Tom Jones is unavailable as a separate album today. (US:4 UK:2)

"If you like Tom Jones, you'll probably like this album. It has some interesting songs for sure but nothing that blew me out of the water. He does Hey Jude, but I think he took his format from the Wilson Pickett cover rather than The Beatles original. Dock Of The Bay he did a nice job with too."

"The ballads are sung with unbelievable heart and soul. Tom makes me swoon when he sings these romantic tunes."

"This is Tom Jones at his very best. When he sings songs like Only Once, or I'm A Fool To Want You, his vocals and soul which he puts into these is amazing. Only he could pull it off with his dynamic voice. I've heard many versions of Fly Me To The Moon, but again, Tom does it better than anyone."
