ESSENTIAL EXCELLENT
Andy Williams can weave his magic with almost any song. This album bears testimony to that! He is such a relaxed singer just like Perry Como was. This essential collection is not quite a greatest hits but you can pick up the missing gems on another album such as Love songs. That one includes May each day and Butterfly a number one in the uk in the 50`s. The other missing track on Essential is his number 3 hit can`t help falling in love from 1970. Those apart you have them all here with some other fine covers. A fantastic singer and a legend in his own lifetime. A well recommended album.

certainly not essential; definitely not definitive
How can any "essential" Andy Williams collection miss out "Days Of Wine Roses", "More", "Dear Heart", "Charade" and "May Each Day" in favor of "I Think I Love You"?? Cadence hits like Lonely Street aren't there, and neither is Solitaire, Andy's last big hit in the 70's. Yet there're two versions of Can't Take My Eyes Off You! Bizarre.pThis is just another compilation that tries to sell what's kitsch and therefore hip in hindsight and omits some genuine hits. As far as another Andy Williams kitsch album goes, it's half assed compared to I Think I Love the 70's and In The Lounge With...so it's neither here nor there.pOne more thing, the liner notes are horrible.
