From Billboard - February 2, 1959: Lush, warm readings of a pretty group of tunes by the Orrin Tucker, Ork. featuring the leader on sax and a large string section. Tucker's sax work is ear-caressing, and the strings accent the sound. Tunes, all having to do with dreams, include "You Stepped Out Of A Dream," "I'll See You In My Dreams," etc. Album of background music should interest fans of the genre.
