Review by Scott Yanow
Wes Montgomery's final record (before his death from a heart attack at age 45) is, as with his two previous A&M releases, pure pop. The great guitarist sticks to simple melody statements (with a lot of octaves thrown in) while backed by Don Sebesky's unimaginative arrangements for an orchestra; commercially the combination was a big success. Unless one really has the desire to hear such songs as "Greensleeves," "Fly Me to the Moon," "Yesterday" and "Scarborough Fair" played perfectly straight, this strictly for-the-money effort can be safely passed by.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El último disco de Wes Montgomery (antes de morir de un ataque al corazón a los 45 años) es, como sus dos anteriores lanzamientos en A&M, puro pop. El gran guitarrista se ciñe a melodías sencillas (con muchas octavas de por medio), respaldado por los poco imaginativos arreglos para orquesta de Don Sebesky; comercialmente, la combinación fue un gran éxito. A menos que uno realmente desee escuchar canciones como "Greensleeves", "Fly Me to the Moon", "Yesterday" y "Scarborough Fair" perfectamente interpretadas, se puede pasar por alto este esfuerzo estrictamente económico.
