Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 12 out of 17
  2. Negative: 0 out of 17
  1. A one-off that finds Patton remaking Italo-pop standards backed by a 40-piece orchestra, the record is flagrantly enjoyable from first gasp to final croon.
  2. 80
    The Latin syllables are well suited to Patton's croon and snarl, and he attacks Fred Buscaglione's cavalier "Che Notte!" with relish. [Jul 2010, p.117]
  3. He clearly relishes the heightened emotion of his source material, the album wisely avoiding cheap campiness in favour of respecting the music's rich sense of drama.
  4. 60
    The multifaceted Mr. Patton turns his hand to Italian-language pop songs. [July 2010, p. 95]
