From the back cover: "We were concerned," says Mooney, "with making these arrangements as musical as possible while also scoring them for the most realistic reproduction. I avoided gimmicks, stressed the contagiously spring-like melodies, and tried throughout to maintain the enthusiastic French approach to many ways of love."

From Billboard - July 18, 1960 (review for S 2005): This double-fold package has strong appeal for stereo fans in its excellent sound values; while Mooney's melodic instrumental treatments of familiar European themes should please fans of lushly arranged continental music. Tunes include "Domino," "Pigalle, "Autumn Leaves," and "Beyond The Sea."
