From Billboard - March 30, 1957: Aside from a set of puerile liner notes, this is a class package for discriminating deejays with fairly hip tastes. Hartman brings a warm expressive vocal manner and innate good taste to a group of nostalgic standards, with sock backing in a swingy vein by Frank Hunter on the slower ballads. Selections include "Blue Skies," "I Could Make You Care" and "While You're Young."
