Critical reception

The album was praised by critics and reviewers.

Roy Oakshot of Radio 2 commented: "These CDs are superb… I can’t recall a vocal production of this quality coming out of a British studio since the days of Matt Monro’s best work. Not only Gary's voice, which is just so on song now, but the orchestrations and the performances of Chris Dean and co – and the wonderful audio engineering – all come together to make a breath-taking listening experience."[1]

Clive Fuller of In Tune said: "Gary is not a Sinatra impersonator he is a song stylist in his own right. A vocalist that can be as comfortable singing up tempo songs, rhythmic numbers, as well as performing slow ballads making him a much sought after talent... This CD goes straight onto my Top 10 of 2010 list!"[2]
