From Billboard - September 21, 1963: Two worthwhile points are made here. First, that a number of familiar and recent pop hits, adapt themselves very well to the bossa nova beat; secondly, when you put fine players like Laurindo Almeida, Vic Feldman, Shelly Manne, Bob Cooper, Don Fagerquist, among others, in this 10-man group, you get good music, Tunes include "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport," "Nava Nagila," "Sukiyaki," "Danke Schoen," etc. Spinnable and listenable.
