Though much of the collection is lovely, Bennett’s “duet” with Holiday on “God Bless the Child” is both creepy and unnecessary. […]

Entertainment Weekly
It’s only a slight surprise that Bennett, a jazz singer without really trying, would pay homage to Billie Holiday. His naturally laid-back phrasings remind us of Lady Day without mimicking her. […]

Very nice tribute albumBennett’s voice is ageless, in fact he sounds more meaningful at 70, then he did in the 1950’s, when he was a nervous young performer pernouncing Darn That Dream is Darn That Drum. Anyway this tribute is very nice, although it would have been better without the duet with Holiday and the strings. […]
