From Billboard - February 27, 1961: This should be another smash album for Henry Mancini, the composer of the "Mr. Lucky" TV music, as well as the "Peter Gunn" hit musical albums. On this new set Mancini puts the accent on the Latin beat, using "Mr. Lucky" tunes for a rhythmic, sophisticated musical set, in the groove for either listening or dancing. Tunes include "Mr. Lucky," "Rain Drops In Rio," "Cow Bells and Coffee Beans" and "Speedy Gonzales." Mighty attractive wax, well recorded and bearing the suave Mancini touch.
