From the back cover: Eddy is a country singer in the sense that he was born on a farm in Henderson, Tennessee; in the sense that a great number of the more than thirty-two million records he has sold were bought by folks who live in rural areas of our land; in the sense that some of his million-record sellers, like Bouquet Of Roses and Anytime, were considered "country" songs.

But in the years since he left the farm, in the decade during which he has been singing professionally, Eddy has played in virtually every metropolitan city in the nation, as well as in literally hundreds of small towns. He has appeared before the most sophisticated of city night club audiences, and in tobacco warehouses in small Souther towns. And in country or city he has been equally well received.

He has had his own network television shows on ABC-TC and the NBC-TC networks. His syndicated TV-film series, "Eddy Arnold Time," is programmed in large and small cities throughout the country. Recently he concluded a network radio show for CBS. On all of these shows Eddy sang popular as well as country songs. – Joseph Csida

From Billboard - February 9, 1957: In recent years c.&w. singer Eddy Arnold has been broadening how material and style in order to include the pop market. This development reaches a peak in this package, which contains such tunes as "I Cried For You," "That Old Feeling," "I Only Have Eyes For You," "September Song" and other tender love songs. The orchestral directions is by Charles Grean. It is distinctly pop-oriented, altho the arrangements retain the emotional and tender quality of c.&w. Jocks will find this a very interesting album, illustrative of the overlapping of categories in today's music business.
