Critic's Review

4.5 out of 5 stars Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
16-track survey of Lee's recordings for Decca in the early and mid-'50s, much of it from film and stage musicals like The Jazz Singer, Lady and the Tramp, and Johnny Guitar. Includes the hits "Lover," "Just One of Those Things," and "Be Anything (But Be Mine)," as well as duets with Bing Crosby and the Mills Brothers. One of the songs, "The Possibility's There," was previously unreleased in the U.S. "Lover," with its stormy, jittery arrangement, is a highlight, as is the dramatic theme to "Johnny Guitar"; "The Siamese Cat Song," on the other hand, is a ridiculous novelty.
