I remember this album a lot from my childhood. My dad always had it playin along with Baja Marimba Band records. I find Chris Montez's jazz/pop albums better than his early rock and roll roots. Every four albums he made for A and M records was great, and sounded the same, which was good. This album, Time After Time, and Foolin' Around are classics. Watch What Happens is a horrible though. Montez didn't want to do this style music, but producer Herb Alpert forced him into it after he got screwed with a record shares from his Let's Dance single. This remaster is a surprise. Now if they'd only made remastered Baja Marimba Band albums!

This Album was one of my all time favorites growing up. My dad belonged to Columbia AND Capital Record clubs and purchased this album. I loved it! What a great collection of songs. His voice and style were so unique and romantic. I WISH it were available from Amazon in CD format so I could buy it. My personal favorites were "The More I See You" and "Another You" but they were all really good. So nostalgic. I think of him and his songs often wishing I could play them once more. For now, I have my dad's album and visit it in my imagination only. I hope Amazon gets it soon! Singer/Songwriter from Tucson, AZ

This is pretty decent. It has a Brazillian swagger to it, and it makes me think of riding the If You Could Fly ride at Disney World with all those pictures of the Mexican Beaches, and the girls in the bikinis. The 2 classic songs are "The More I See You", and my favorite "Call Me". There are some good covers here like Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon", and Bruce Channel's "Hey Baby", and "Little White Lies". I feel why this album didn't do any other damage was because Herb Alpert was starting to decline as far as any hit material, and after his "Whipped Cream" album he became more of a producer, and this was his first time producing another person's album. I feel that it was also because of the long drawn out period between this, and his hit "Let's Dance" back in 62 that people forgot who he was. In a sense it also helped out Alpert with his last major hit 2 years later with "This Guy's In Love With You". However, this album is pretty much average. Nothing really new to write home about.
