From Billboard - March 17, 1958: Gleason spotlights a new romantic sound in his latest effort. Lawrence Brown's mellow and legato trombone stylings are given lush support from a large ork which inludes marimbas, harp, guitar and other rich orchestral sounds. The selections provide a relaxed, listenable mood. The standards include "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face," "My Heart Reminds Me" and "Fascination." This should easily go as well as his previous hits.
