Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

As very few of the 11 songs in this collection even made it onto the charts, the title of this record is something of a misnomer. This does, however, offer an intriguing snapshot of Sinatra's late-'60s/early-'70s career. While there's only one bona-fide classic in the bunch ("My Way"), you get interesting takes on contemporary pop numbers like Little Anthony's "Goin' Out of My Head" and George Harrison's "Something," along with samples from such perennially underrated albums as The September of My Years and Watertown. Hardly a definitive collection, but intermittently rewarding, just the same. --Dan Epstein

3.0 out of 5 stars SHOULD BE CALLED - SINATRA'S EASY LISTENING COLLECTION, July 16, 2001
By Stephan Mayer (sacramento, ca United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this album for two songs: CYCLES (which was a top 40 single, GOLD album) and LOVE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME (the album it was on hit TOP 40). Besides those two, MY WAY and SEPTEMBER OF MY YEARS the rest is commercial stuff.

Buy this CD if it's on sale ..., otherwise don't waste the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars This features TWO GREAT HARD TO FIND tunes!, December 7, 2001
By S. Henkels (Devon, Pa United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
And most of the other reviewers seem to agree. "Cycles" is again Frank as "everyman", though it's hard to think he "got fired" from any job. "Love's Been Good to Me" is the other,a wistful look at a man who is probably alone,but looking back at past loves and travels.Both belong in the ultra Sinatra collection."My Way" ,okay maybe it helps sell the album. "A Man Alone" also very fine,but on the big Reprise collection. "Star" reasonable enough,and hard to find elsewhere. "Sept of my Years" an all-time misty eyed nostalgic beauty,available on many Reprise collections. The rest is mainly forgettable,especially "Going Out of My Head",another big hit of the time (Was it Dionne Warwick?),which seems embarrassing today. But yes,a treasure, if only for the first two terrific rarities.

3.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected Gems Where You' d Actually Expect Them, September 21, 1999
By A Customer
This album covered the short period from the release of Frank Sinatra's first Reprise Greatest Hits album to his short-lived 1971 retirement. There's much to muddle through here: the revered version of "My Way," the lesser version of "Something" (which he did much better w/Nelson Riddle on "Trilogy") some movie songs and his strange but lovely version of Joe Raposo's "Bein' Green." But then you get to "Cycles," originally the title track of an album of 60s covers. This song, featuring a piano fill which recalls Floyd Cramer, sports the sad, resilient elegance of his 50s blue concept masterpieces like "Only The Lonely." When Sinatra sang, "So I'll keep on trying to sing, but please...just don't ask...me now." it carried a bit more resonance in light of what had occurred but months before.
