Sep 30, 2021Bennett and Gaga dance through [Cole Porter's] witty wordplay and bring nuanced humanity to the deft melodies he dashed off in his suite at the Waldorf.
-
Oct 19, 2021One of the finest jazz releases in a long while, Love for Sale is a must for fans of the genre, as well as its two incomparable performers. One only regrets that the duo had not received an opportunity to tackle Hoagy Carmichael in the same manner.
-
Sep 30, 2021It’s certainly delightful and delicious – as they croon on opening track De-Lovely – although also decidedly undemanding.
-
Oct 6, 2021This is neither an essential nor an endlessly replayable record - but what it is, thankfully, is a delightful entry point to the works of Tony Bennett. Nothing else much matters.
-
Oct 1, 2021Existing in a different realm to ‘Chromatica’, it’s testament to Lady Gaga’s astonishing breadth, and the timeless effervescence of Tony Bennett.
-
Oct 1, 2021Gaga has always been an emotional performer, and she does quite a bit of heavy lifting on Love for Sale, but Bennett’s vocals remain crystal clear. The album (unsurprisingly) is at its best when the two are together.
-
Oct 7, 2021We get a campy take on I Get a Kick Out of You, a sashaying Night and Day, and yet another outing for swing album mainstay I’ve Got You Under My Skin. It’s on the less ubiquitous songs, however, that the pair seem to have the most fun. ... This ebullient album feels like a fond farewell rather than a solemn goodbye.
-
Oct 7, 2021This isn't a record where the songs and arrangements are at the forefront, it's an album that's all about the show and spectacle. Its pleasures are slightly fleeting but they're pleasures all the same.
-
Sep 30, 2021Beyond sympathy and sentiment, Love for Sale disarms cynicism simply by being infectiously good fun.
-
Sep 30, 2021‘Love For Sale’ is best when Bennett and Gaga playfully trade lines and sing in unison, with the veteran singer countering his collaborator’s belting vocal with artful restraint.
-
Sep 30, 2021A superhero team-up that has produced another album of rock-solid takes on the American songbook.

Oct 1, 2021Lady Gaga’s solo on Do I Love You sounds straight out a Disney movie in the best of way. So many high points to the album really can’t fault it.

Oct 1, 2021Stunning album, I’m so glad Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett’s worlds collided and gave us Cheek to Cheek and now an even better album Love for Sale.
