From Billboard - July 11, 1960: A handsome exhibit of top-notch recording techniques. The instrumentation consists of woodwinds, mainly flutes, with chimes, bongos, drums and numerous other percussion cleverly scored for maximum stereo effects. Tunes are familiar for the most part – "Maria," "Little Girl Blue," "Moonlight Becomes You," etc. – but they are certainly given new and unique voicings. A quality package of sound that can find a healthily market.
