    The overall effect is that this is one of the Streisand albums most appealing to her fans and her potential fans--which includes nearly everyone who appreciates a singer singing like she's lived every line of her songs.

    In truth, despite Diana Krall as producre and accompanist, this is hardly jazz. Instead, it's another nigh faultless array of ballads, immaculately dressed by arranger Johnny Mandel (a deluxe edition has backings by Krall's quartet.0 [Dec 2009, p. 92]

    Streisand gives her trademark romantic-ballad treatment to 13 well-known standards.

    So very boring one cannot avoid falling into a ditch when listing and driving, be aware. Talented as she is this CD has no true extra value, the interpretations are so predictable the voice not as good as in the past, even the fans of the diva will be disappointed, please Mrs S, record something fresh and new already.… Expand
