This has some great moments but wow are these arrangements dated.
Grandad-core, let's goooo
2.56
Better than Coldplay
This list needs a bit more jazz. I enjoyed this, it also made me discover Sinatra’s deeper cuts
I know… it’s history, but… 😴
A great voice with impeccable timing. Sad songs with cool if dated arrangements. Probably not his best. But still interesting and entertaining.
D'accord pour le 2.
Confession... j'ai un peu de misère avec les ballades et les adagio. Je ne suis pas un grand fan de crooners non plus. Désolé Ol' Blue Eyes, c'est pas que c'est pas bon, c'est que ça m'emmerde.
Vous êtes harsh les boys. J'aime quand même ça les crooners, ça relax. Par ailleurs est-ce la première fois que les première paroles de l'album sont exactement le titre de l'album? Je suis trop paresseux pour chercher cette information alors je vais dire oui. Je donnerais 4.5/5. En même temps j'aime ça mais je n'en réécouterai probablement pas, alors on baisse à 4. cover 5/5, J'aime que ce soit un dessin et ça représente bien l'album un peu Moody.
Nice but every song quite similar and indistinguishable, unadulterated crooner music!
three songs in i was like nice, i like this guy, great voice! SIXTEEN songs of how miserable you are about a girl? please stop.
Sinatra.
A gem from the Chairman of the Board.
boring (adj.) - causing weariness and restlessness through lack of interest.
Who was this for? I can’t imagine some sad lonely dude throwing this on the turntable in 1956, sitting down with his cheap scotch and remembering when he was beloved for fighting in WWII, only to spend the next ten years spiraling downward and taking it out on his kids…
In the wee small hours, we jive, or swing or something. 70 years ago this came out. Wild how the industry has evolved since then.
Franky does this style really really well. What did I expect? Love these songs. Kind of a sad, heartbreaky tone most of the time, but I don't mind it. The jazz instrumentals are on point, and Frank's voice is amazing. What can I say frank you've done it again.
The best times to get drunk, have sex, and masturbate.
A perfectly-named album. It was really nice listening to this at the end of my night. Sinatra is downtrodden as can be, but making the most of it by looking back on loves lost. While my favorite track was probably "When Your Lover Has Gone", the middle run of song from track 6-10 really hit a sweet spot. The way "Last Night When We Were Young" crescendos in both instrumentation and in Sinatra's delivery made it another standout track. I might be victim to a listening experience that is perfectly timed as I mentioned before, but I think this is a soft 4/5. Frank Sinatra's signature ease-of-delivery vocals are tailor-made for a project like this. Full of noire-ridden yearning, disappointment, and romantic helplessness. Yet somehow he still retains a cozy, faint glimmer of hope amongst the doom and gloom. It's like you can hear him throwing his coat over his shoulder and staring at the concrete, kicking rocks on the dim walk home
There is no questioning Sinatra’s talent, but I’m just not one for crooners. It’s a good enough album that I’ll give it 2+ stars but there are many other albums I would choose to play.
Sinatra has a great voice, but I really hate these maudlin, over orchestrated concept albums. I get it, the guy is bummed his girl is gone. But I don't need to hear that over and over on a Friday. Great talent, but I'm not going to come back to this one. I'm sure these songs would be better if they weren't all grouped together on one album.
This is not my favorite version of Sinatra -- I prefer more more swing and life to my Sinatra.
It’s a 2 star album that I’m glad is on here. I didn’t enjoy listening to it but reading about it was pretty interesting. Rating: 1.9
Only Frank could say “You’re blowing me no good”
I dunno, man. I know it's a classic, but it leaves me cold. For what it's worth, my daughter loves it, normally a good sign that I am wrong.
I remember in the 90s when it was cool to like the old crooners. Must have been the same time everyone was into swing dancing. Over it.
Wow is this boring. Hang on, folks, Elvis will be there next year.... (sorry, dad)
It has its moments, but it's very long, especially for an album from 1955
Smooth sinatra
Not a huge Frank fan to begin with and this one was a bit of a snooze fest.
The Sinatra voice is once again smooth like butter and the musicianship is tight, considered & very delicate through the album. There’s no doubt there are huge qualities here & that Sinatra was a master of his time, but when it comes to the pace, impact & tone of the album, I can’t help but find it a little tiresome as it progresses. There’s only so many slow-paced, delicate songs about heartbreak I can listen to before it gets old.
Cloying, sentimental drivel.
This album is super important for the history of popular music and absolutely should be on this list. It doesn’t mean I can’t think it’s boring. It just feels like the same song over and over again with little variation in lyrical subject matter, tempo, or instrumental palette. Would it kill him to throw in a single faster song? Voice is great as expected and I really like the song I’ll Be Around.
Sinatra and Riddle interpret "The Great American Songbook" through the lens of Frank's broken heart and invent an art form.
Frankie’s got some pipes
Calm voice
Frank can't do much wrong. The album all kinda sounds same-y and drags on a while, but it's all solid.
Stemningsfulle melodier fra Frank, men det holder ikke i grevens år 2026. Det passer dog greit når man skal sove. Skal innrømme at top 3 her er helt vilkårlig. Top 3: In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning, I’ll Be Around, Can’t We Be Friends?
This landed the morning after my families annual St. Pat's party...so, I got up and cleaned the house all by myself to this. Basically dooming me to bias it as a perfect album for such an occasion. I love frank anyhow but I am a sucker for crooners.
Precioso
These songs sound like the lead in to an old school Disney movie. Frank’s music certainly had a place in time.
This is the first full Frank Sinatra I listened to. While some of the songs are a bit repetitive it is an amazing album. He sings with such emotion. I can see why he is a legend.
One of the first records I owned. I “borrowed” it from my dad because I loved how dark the album art was. 100% my favorite Frank album.
4.5. Classic Sinatra. Doesn’t have too many of his best known songs, but they’re all good.
Hermoso. Me sentí en un sueño
Muy lindo :D
I know who Sinatra is. I know the voice. But I don’t think I’ve ever really listed to his music. Being a fan of rock and roll. It’s interesting to hear rock recordings from this same year against this one. This is huge and lush. It’s a great album. All ballads. Don’t know if I would listen again.
I've a huge appreciation for Sinatra and his music. One of my favourite albums ever is Sinatra with Count Basie at The Sands in Vegas, recorded live in the 1960's. This particular album is really nice, but only in the right setting. I'd have to say it's listenable but I probably wouldn't rush to put it on again.
This album was fantastic. Nelson Riddle's arrangements are as much a feature as Sinatra's vocals. The guy (Riddle) was a beast of an arranger and it shows.
Frank, buddy, get over it.
A more subtle Sinatra, I enjoyed it enough, although I prefer his more big band offerings .
excellent 5/5
Awful, it's the same whiny song over and over again. Couldn't stand to finish this.
I like Frank, but I think the songs are weak on this. The heartstring 50s violin section grates a bit
Maybe if this was half the length and had some more upbeat songs... well it wouldn't be the same album then I guess? I'll leave the last words to Frank, "goes on and on...". Two stars.
sleepy and shmaltzy. And surprisingly, frank doesnt have that great a voice. A brutal listen
I like Frankie but this was so slow, so sad, so boring. I get it, and I applaud him for breaking out of the standards to sing meaningful songs for himself, but this just isn't a good album.
Probably slapped in the 50s
Quite good.
Silly Smooth
Frank sings about how much love can suck and sounds great doing it.
I don't think a single track gripped me in a way I was expecting, however the album as a whole was beautiful. It's incredibly easy listening, and Frank's voice sounds so amazing on every track. Really really enjoyed this.
Classic crooner, Sinatra had a voice like no one else. Liked Songs Added: In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning
I like ol' blue eyes as much as the next person... but an hour? Thats a lot. So I'll say 2.5 - rounding up.
He seems to be a class act, but is he a scoundrel?? Musically it reminds me of an old movie.
Very enjoyable - Sinatra is great
This is what you expect
2 masterclass crooning. Zero hits.
This dude really is a relic that should be forgotten, complete snore fest fossil, pack it up grandpa
Thank goodness for this man’s ear infection. I would have been so hooked if I were a young girl in the 50s
decent but not sure if I'll revisit
Admittedly, I thought this might be a bit of a slog to get through. And whilst I did get a bit tired by the very end of the album, I hugely enjoyed most of it. The lyrics are just beautiful, a gorgeous ode to love and the loss of it. Would love to listen to this on vinyl by a crackling fire. Favourites: In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning I Get Along Without You Very Well When Your Lover Has Gone Last Night When We Were Young
Nice easy listening
misma música calentita pero las letras son mucho más deprimentes, -1 punto :(
One of THE albums that put Frank Sinatra on the map!!
Maudlin and Moody. Definitely has an atmosphere and theme. It’s probably more of a nighttime listen, so I think I did it a disservice by listening to it at 10:00 at work but that’s not Frank’s fault. It didn’t have a lot of varied tone but that’s not what it was trying to do. From Musicboard
This dude laid pipe
I've recently reached the 500th album milestone. To celebrate, the website gave me the oldest album on the 1001 Albums list. I do like a bit of Sinatra sometimes. However, listening to a whole Frank Sinatra album gets repetitive towards the end. Luckily, I managed to like today's album. 3 stars for "In the Wee Small Hours".
Frank Sinatra the goat of Christmas feel
I can understand why this is some kind of important album but I'm too young for this
The earliest album on this generator (I believe). It's strange to evaluate albums from before the mid-60s, as it's before the "album era". There aren't many albums from the 50s here but of course some early exceptions need to slot in. There's an easy argument to make to include Sinatra. His voice and style remain iconic decades later. As the most well known of the croners, he should be celebrated alongside an unlikely instrument: the microphone. We tend to think of microphones as merely tools to get the sound onto a record, but Sinatra's style wouldn't have been possible without it. By raising the volume of his voice, he was able to sing, sweetly and softly, over the larger than life music that otherwise might have drown it out. It's easy to take it for granted now, but this simple innovation in recording techniques revolutionized recorded music and ultimately led to the wide variety of other genres to come. It wasn't necessarily the genius of anyone in particular, just the tinkering of audio engineers to get the sound just right. But it opened the door for Sinatra and others to make new kinds of music that the world hadn't heard before. It makes it an excellent starting point for this album list. On a personal level, I love the vocals and the history here, but the music itself does get a bit dull after a while. Sinatra never quite embraced the album format as a complete artistic idea, which is a shame. But obviously, he was already big enough that he didn't need to innovate any more than he already had.
Frank Sinatra has a beautiful and classic voice. I am pretty sure I would enjoy it more with different songs. I understand that this album is an important concept album with songs of heartbreak, but it gets a little boring when all the songs are sad and blue. I am looking forward to hear his other albums on the list, and hope they are better.
feels like some songs off cinderella.
Described as "one of the first concept albums" -- in theory, an exciting display of artistic vision and consistent theming. In practice, a way for an album from the '50s to have its songs sound extra similar across the tracklist in an era where there already wasn't a lot of variety to offer Maybe that's ideal for a Sinatra album, it is what it is
This is the oldest album on this list, and it hasn't aged well. 16 dull indistinguishable tune-less songs about Frank's girl leaving him with piercing strings in the background. This would be a 1 if it wasn't for Sinatra's lovely voice.
lotta nostalgia here for me
It’s Sinatra, you know what you’re getting! These maybe lean slower than some of his other stuff, though?
It sounds pretty much what I expected Sinatra to sound like. Old and classic. The rhyme scheme is interestingly simple. It’s enjoyable and slow, not my favorite thing to listen to, but pretty nice. His voice is quite nice, unsurprisingly
so alice in wonderland/magical fairy
beautiful album....a needed palate cleanser after yesterday.....the instrumentals, the voice, the lyrics.....mr. sinatra know yearning ALWAYS !!! moody and melancholic in the perfect way🫶 mood indigo deep in a dream
i love me some frank, such good memories listening growing up i love this album, feels moody and it rly paints a mental picture for me
Y'all mind if a white boy catches a vibe?
i could not possibly care less about frank sinatra. I'm not the biggest fan of vocal jazz in general but I'm specifically very sick of frankie. I've heard it said about Louis armstrong that he proved that singing doesn't have to be pretty to be expressive, and sinatra is like the antithesis of that. this is my big problem with most "good" male vocalists, that they're either so focused on being technically proficient or have enough natural talent to have never considered what, if anything, their voices are actually expressing. from this you either get completely flat, emotionless singing, or affected emotion that's way too over the top and/or reads as phony, and sinatra is solidly in the final category. i simply don't buy any of it. he's affecting these emotions and feelings because it's what's marketable and identifiable with his "brand" and what's expected of a "good" male singer, but none of it reads as real, i do not ever feel or perceive anything genuine from his vocal performances. of course, he did employ and collaborate with many talented musicians, but I'd much rather listen to them play without his listless crooning over the top. this does deserve its spot on the list for its history in the development of the album as an art form in and of itself but i certainly don't want to actually listen to it ever again
Yeah that's what music sounds like.
meh. this album was very samey and i didn't really enjoy it. it wasn't bad to listen to per se, it was just boring. Like I get why Frank Sinatra is considered the father of vocal jazz don't get me wrong, but comparing this to any of Nina Simone's releases is like comparing plain toast to a decadent breakfast. not gonna revisit.
Very pleasant, but needed some variety. It's just a man being sad for an hour.
Version 1 million of someone saying that this album is a beautifully bleak representation of what it feels like to be up before most people in the world, whilst invaded with thoughts of a girl that you have a complicated relationship with. This album is the motive for you to go on that walk.
Kinda sucks, gotta be honest. Saccharine, annoying voice, there are way better versions of this same thing done by artists who aren’t abusive pricks.
Precursor dels sadboys amb aquest album. I mira que aqui ni ho havia deixat amb l’Ava. 10/10 siempre en tu barco Francisco <3
This is such a brutally beautiful album, one of the all time under-the-radar gems. Sinatra harkens back to his crooner style with an album full of breakup songs, of love lost or love never had, and fills it with his sense of charm. This is still before the rat pack, before Vegas, before his image became Chairman of the Board, and in a way it suits him perfectly. It runs a little long at times; a little more pruning would serve it wel. But its novelty is also its greatest strength and is deserving to be on the list.
So this isn't a bad album. I mean, it's Frank Sinatra after all and his voice is timeless. Just these songs are not some of my favorites from him. It is a very melancholy record and just doesn't show the same swagger and fun that some of his other albums do. That said, his voice is strong throughout this and the musicians are great. I just can't see this as being something I would return to often.
Don't care for Sinatra man.
3.5 frank sinatras musik erinnert mich irgendwie voll an weihnachten, ich weiß aber nicht ob er es extra so geschrieben hat, dass es weihnachtlich ist. Oder ob es mich daran erinnert, weil seine musik bei uns immer im wohnzimmer an weihnachten läuft. es ist aber so oder so win ganz gutes album.
was surprised to find that the album had finished, it just all blurred together in the background and I had sort of assumed it would go on forever - which I can appreciate as the goal of an album, but I don't think it's what Sinatra was really going for and I don't see it that way
Sad in a way that makes me want to drink whisky at a dive at 2 am
One of three albums I'd have expected Frank to have here, it's really good but best enjoyed in the evening with a stiff drink
Classic Sinatra: crooning. Not really my thing, reminds me of boredom
Frank doesn't do a lot for me. His song are good, but it's not my preferred genre
Sad Christmas music type beat
I can see the appeal. Sinatra was "cool", and so was this album. So much classic, mid century aspirational imagery here. It isn't the most exciting music, though, and I can't help but find all of the Rat Pack (and most men from that era) a bit gross. That's probably a criticism that could be levelled at most of the men on this list, but it is what it is. I don't feel the vicarious, aspirational feelings that I think this is supposed to evoke.
Probably the beat album of the 50s, I don't like it a massive amount but it's definitely very solid and Frank obviously has a pretty great voice. The instrumentation doesn't really do much for me though.
I don’t mind a bit of ole Frank. This is a more down beat record than some, but perfect for an evening
Det minder mig om julesange. Det er nok det eneste tidspunkt, der er noget, der minder om crooner-musik i rotation. Meget behageligt.
Never listened to a Sinatra album before. Playing this through, I was struck that he could certainly sing, but I didn't find the songs very interesting. So, I read some Wikipedia etc, re the album and Sinatra generally. I had had a strong impression of Sinatra from the cipher character in The Godfather , I feel after more reading that was probably not inaccurate take on the guy at level of character, eg unattractive aspects of Italian-American machismo. What about the album? I saw a comment that it had a broader emotional palette than was commonly 'acceptable' for mainstream men at the time. So there's points of interest, but I don't really want to go back and listen more, but I do recognise some quality in this Sinatra album. So it's Okay (Not Good), 4/10.
9/10 classic
Joj dosadni ste više sa Sinatrom na listi, kao ok, ali baš da mu svaki album mora biti tu, ne bih rekla. Iz bijesa 1/5, 1/10
Great accompaniment for a famous crooner.
p22. 1953. 3 stars. On the plus side, we have THAT voice, Nelson Riddle's production, and some of the greatest moments from the American Songbook. Set against that are filler and the fact it's single paced - 16 songs of heartbreak is a bit too much for anyone.
Frank was feeling some feelings
A classic, no doubt. I grew up with a great deal of music from this era and even before. Being a child of parents who had children uncharacteristically late for their generation has its perks and detractions. While I was not really a fan of the Lawrence Welk Show, I do not begrudge my exposure to Bing Crosby, Benny Goodman, Rosemary Clooney, Gershwin, Doris Day, Nat King Cole and, yes, Frank Sinatra. Now, my parents were rather conservative, so even Sinatra was a bit on the racier side of things. I heard him more passively on my Father's radio stations in the car. Having given this a closer listen (three times through in fact), there is indeed a lot to like here. The latent misogyny (not at all uncommon in that era) and occasionally o'er sentimentality, not so much. But few could quibble with the virtuosity of ol' Frankie's voice and the, ahem, sincere frankness and feeling in the lyrics.
molto dolce, lento e triste. mi piace. anche ottimo per addormentarsi devo dire
Italian restaurant feel, classic and slow
Not much to say other than it is a classic. It is full of great songwriting and excellent performances, and it is a hallmark of this era that is the precursor to so much that exists today.
A little long to be listening to while not heartbroken.
A very pleasant album but it does get a little redundant as it goes on. I feel like you could have cut a few songs and kept this at a crisp 40 minutes. Overall, I enjoyed my time with this album, Sinatra is a great singer. Mid 4.
One of the best mood albums!
I've never been much of Sinatra fan. His voice is beautiful without a doubt. I will not deny his talent, but all of his songs are very much the same. Lots of yearning, bordering on desperation at times, but for the most part kind of romantic in a "dancing in a black and white romance movie" kind of way. I get some decent enjoyment out of it. Just wish it didn't all sound the same.
What a voice that man had
Expected a bit more from the man
Not my type of music
It’s a good album, but not on the daily for me. Good record for a chill day on the background or Christmas season.
Viel Schmalz
Superdigg nedpå jazz. Nam
Courtney: good but uninteresting Craig: good but very samey
favorites: in the wee small hours of the morning; i see your face before me; what is this thing called love?
Ohhh say it again Frank.
Incredibly smooth listen. Something I’d listen to while sitting under the dim light of a forest scented candle while smoking a fat cigar.
Aged like a fine wine, this album is smooth and charming listening. Frank Sinatra was one of the best of his time and this album is a great example of this.
Sad boi 50's crooning. Not the best or most impressive Sinatra album, but still decent music. Kinda hard to believe that one of the biggest sex symbols of his age could pull off an album featuring themes of sadness and depression over how he can't get a gal and get laid.
Man:/, I don't think this is the best that the 50s have to offer. However it IS music!
Previously rated: #568 - Songs For Swingin' Lovers! (4/5) #1,003 - Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim (3/5) **************************************************************** Album #1,032 More very well sung sentimental crooner stuff. It's good for certain moods. I only knew the title track going in, though not Sinatra's version, and it's probably the best track here.
This is the album equivalent of watching paint dry. Scientists should study this to figure out the secret of time manipulation. Apparently it's only 49 minutes long but I'm certain that I was listening to this for a week. By day 3, everything sounded the same. I was sure that I'd accidentally put one song on repeat, but no. By day 6, I'd given up all hope of ever seeing the other side. I'd accepted that my life would forever consist of listening to this album. At the end of day 7, when the sweet release of silence came, I emerged from my audio prison and blinked into the sunlight. All I wanted to do was hug my family. I had an overwhelming appreciation for how Andy Dufresne felt when he crawled out of the sewerage pipe and stood in the rain in The Shawshank Redemption. There's no denying that Frank has a great voice, he just put it to use in the most bafflingly boring and unenjoyable way possible.

Classic, but doesnt hold up much today, there's some nicer jazz and better singers, seems more like a cult of personality to me
It is difficult, from a modern vantage point, to fully grasp how radical In the Wee Small Hours must have sounded upon its release in 1955. At a time when LPs were largely little more than playlists, Sinatra presented something genuinely new: music conceived as a unified experience. Its innovation is structural: a sustained emotional logic carried across an entire LP. In doing so, he helped introduce the very idea of the ‘concept’ album. This record is a consummate mood-setter. Where many jazz and vocal albums of the era feel like loosely assembled songbooks, In the Wee Small Hours unfolds with a clear and singular vision. Sinatra’s voice, then marked by maturity and experience, brings a gravitas that transforms familiar standards into intimate confessions. Several tracks feel so perfectly realized that they eclipse other versions entirely. These recordings feel definitive: “Mood Indigo” and “I Get Along Without You Very Well” are not merely performed, but inhabited. Nelson Riddle’s orchestral arrangements are a study in emotional economy and central to the album’s precision. Rather than overwhelm, the orchestra reaches its expressive heights through restraint: a quivering oboe, the lament of a flute, the hush of strings that seem to breathe alongside the singer. There is always the danger that such material could tip into melodrama, but the album consistently pulls back from that edge. Even the cover art reinforces the album’s cohesion. The blue-toned, film noir-inspired image of Sinatra alone beneath a streetlamp offers no invitation, only acknowledgement. There are no mood swings here, no up-tempo concessions. Instead, this is music for the hours when the self-deception finally wears thin. In the Wee Small Hours doesn’t announce itself as important. It simply refuses to break character. In doing so, it established a template for the album as an emotional canvas, one that countless artists would follow, but rarely with such discipline, intimacy, or grace.
A very consistent tone of heartbreak which could easily have dragged, but I found myself more drawn into it as it went on. A more vulnerable Frank without any brashness - I appreciated that
5/10
classic Sinatra & Riddle, althoughone-dimensional, nice songs & arrangements
smooth, early self-pity album of the famous lothario
Good
I find this quite boring and dated.
Sorry Frank, this is just not for me
Pretty much what I expected. An hour of the same jazzy songs with Sinatras smooth voice.
Made it halfway through the album. Where’s it going? They all sound the same, mopey shite. 1*
Eh x
Nonsense
Great voice and vibe. I really liked the titular In the wee small hours, I'll be around, and this love of mine. Everything else was a lil slow for my taste.
Weather a hot cup of coffee on a winter morning or a glass of scotch at the end of a long day - this album apparently needs liquid to go along with it. Here's the thing - after the drink is done, so is all of the fun with this one. I mean what more is there to say - of time/place/feeling - this is untouchable. It is of course, the same song over and over again and doesn't have the same musicianship of pop music that comes later.
My second Sinatra album (first was Songs for Swinging Lovers.) This one seems really melancholic, which I like the idea of, and concept, and all that side of stuff, though the actual songs themselves sadly weren't great. So not great and me being so not interested, resulted in one the relatively rare times where I couldn't tell you what the previous track melody or lyrics consisted of even though I'm listening to just the very next track, though that was only for like 60-70% of the album. Highlight Song/s: "Mood Indigo", "Ill Wind" and "Dancing on the Ceiling"
What a dude. Effortless.
Perfect!
Amazing voice, an album full of nice songs. Plays nicely in the background for me.
Slow and atmospheric. Charming but mild
It is Sinatra!
Já ouvi, amo
4/10… vocal jazz / piano / *1955
I love love love Frank His voice is just so beautiful His songs make me so nostalgic, they make me wish I was living in an old movie I love his incorporation of various instruments, the harp!!! Minus one point because all the songs start to blur together after a while
The usual orchestral and jazz tinged backings accompany Frank’s almost spoken vocals - remains eternally popular
Great performance by Sinatra, but an album full of sad ballads makes for such a sleeper record. Really beautiful arrangements throughout, but not a ton of differentiation between tracks.
Überraschenderweise gefällt es mir musikalisch ganz gut, aber leider singt er oftmals über dieselben Themen, wodurch es ziemlich schnell ziemlich langweilig wurde. Hat mich an eine Mischung aus Disney- und Musicalmusik erinnert. Sollte wohl häufiger Jazzmusik hören!
holy smokes how come i’ve never took the time to listen to this. this might be the first 10/10 album ive rated and it takes a good amount to be a 10/10. this album is so beautiful, i can describe it as a snowy night in the city with your lover at night. first off, frank sinatras voice is so calming and a classic. the instrumentals is so calm and cozy just like cookies and milk and a fire place in the background crackling. this came out in the 50s!! was there a baby boom back in the 50s bc of thi album?? i listened to this in the wee small hours by the way. but wow man i never felt this way about an album in a good time im glad i listened to this. its so gosh darn calming i want more of this. every song fits perfectly in this album, every song is flawless, there’s not a singular thing wrong with this. to think that this came out in the 50s was outstanding. i love every song on it, can’t choose a favorite one. and you could tell that these songs were made with so much love, it’s made with a lot of love that im feeling loved right now. anyway im obviously giving this a 10/10, reminds me of the old disney films which is a good thing.
Frank is great but this album isn't. Too slow, too morose, not enough variability.
A great album to reply to emails too.
8/10 - it's Frank Sinatra, really nice to have in the background
Great voice and classy but pretty repetitive and too long for that. 3.5
Absolutely deserves to be on the list because of the significance of creating albums. But it's a bit meh and the same. Not bad but nothing noteworthy
I’m a Tony Bennett man myself.
Morose from ol' Blue eyes. Surprisingly mopey but somewhat lacking in self reflection. Intimate but shallow with a nice voice. Feels like Christmas even though it is not. No picks, they're all very similar.
I love Frank Sinatra but a whole album of sad boi in one sitting is a bit much.
He’s very good at what he does, it’s just not for me. Smooth, clean vocals. A little too slow. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again
So beautiful, so sad.
7.8/10 very gorgeous but its making me fall asleep at work lol<3
Oh hey, it's album #0001! I vaguely remember listening to In the Wee Small Hours during my first 1001 Albums attempt, but I guess it didn't leave that much of an impression. By no fault of Mr. Sinatra (who, needless to say, has a great voice), I have a really hard time engaging with this album. The music is so ubiquitous that it's almost like ambient audio to me – completely harmless, pleasant background noise that does a pretty good job filling the silence at a get-together or while doing chores. I guess the main problem is that the more I pay attention to it, the less I feel like I'm getting out of it. The lyrics/music aren't particularly challenging and the songs more or less all sound the same, so giving it your complete and undivided attention is almost doing it a disservice. As a result, I ended up blissfully half-listening to In the Wee Small Hours for the majority of its runtime and letting my ears perk up at the occasional clever line or instrumental solo (the trumpet solo on "Ill Wind" was a highlight all on its own). If I ever listen to it again, it'll probably be in a fashion where I can just soak in its atmosphere and not truly perceive it. I'm sure this was a mindblowing album in 1955 though! Highlights: In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning, I See Your Face Before Me, Can't We Be Friends, Ill Wind, I'll Never Be the Same
This is the earliest album in the book and it's an example of Frank Sinatra having a major case of the Sads. Bouncing between beautiful actresses and trying to not cheat on them is quite the difficult endeavor for Frank, so now this is the result. Considering the temp never really picks up, this album may be a little too long. 16 songs and almost 50 minutes is a lot of Sad Sinatra. I find it interesting we start off this whole project with "a different side" of Frank Sinatra. This is a good album, even if you probably can't find any of his big hits on here. Still a little dreary for me and when I reviewed "Songs for Swinging Lovers" for this project, I said I like sad Frank more than swinging Frank and now I'm not sure that's true. How about a happy middle between sad Frank and swinging Frank? I can't deny both sides of Sinatra are compelling and should be hard, so as the first album in this book then this is a worthy addition.
Set the mood when the weather suddenly changed to cloudy and rainy :) loved every moment
Maybe on another day or in other circumstances, I could settle in and appreciate the languorous, melancholic times of this album, but on a day I was busy doing this and that, it really felt shapeless and meandering.
Probably the single best collection of slower and more boozy Frank Sinatra songs.
What a difference a decade makes! To think that this was the popular sound of 1955 and then compare to the music of 1965! The Beatles, Stones and Motown still sound reasonably modern. This feels like music from a different century. Even just two years later, the first Chuck Berry album came out, which might as well have come from a different planet... I appreciate the quality of the voice and musicianship, but oof, this sounds as ancient as the pyramids!
Typical Sinatra, but it's still enjoyable. In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning might be the best.
I have this album and it is more than each individual track, a lovely late night night vibe whilst sipping a single malt.
A collection of timeless melodies of heartbreak. It’s nice, but the blues are better at invoking those feelings in my opinion.
The songs on this album might not be rated "Sinatra classics," but you have to appreciate Sinatra's impeccable phrasing and timing, as well as his tone. It's as if he is talking to you.
Not My Favorite of his but still great

In the words of a great singer Frank Sinatra "you're blowing me no good"
Ugh, another Sinatra album? "Songs for Swinging Lovers" was my first full-album listening experience to a Sinatra album, and after listening to this, I wished it had stayed that way. 50 minutes of whining is not my cup of tea, even done by with a sweet crooner's voice. Lyrically it's not engaging, and musically, it's all the same. Yeah, I know that people with untrained ears would say the same about metal albums, but hey, who wants to train their ears to this outdated, orchestral, slimy music? 1/5
03/01/2026 *1. in the wee small hours of the morning - georgeous intro.... loooove the strings... his voice is phenomenal.... love 50s crooners.... <3 aaaagh. heartbreaking!!!! great ending!!!!! *2. mood indigo - aaagh the orchestra!! the trumpet just started!! so moody and sad.... fantastic!! just got louder oh my gooooooddd. sososososo goood!!!! 3. glad to be unhappy - the intro sounds quite upbeat despire the title... the lyrics are great. the guitar is great.... love the piano..... 4. i get along without you very well - wow so dramatic at the start! lovely lyrics..... they're very universal, but still really touching.... at least to me :) the high violin is so beautiful... the ending is gorgeous.... *5. deep in a dream - love how dramatic this is.... tips into melodrama at times, but in the best way possible...... reminds me of brief encounter <3 *6. i see your face before me - waooow.... his voice is so incredible.... so soft but also so powerful.... the instrumental section is so sweeeet.... love when the orchestra swells.... 7. can't we be friends? - more jazzzzyyyy! so dramatic! such an atmospheric album........ so timeless. *8. when your lover has gone - gorgeous. no faults... completely perfect album so far!!!! *9. what is this thing called love - wowww.... immediately very noir-ish.... beautifullllll..... *10. last night when we were young - love the strings and his voice together..... the lyrics are soooo melancholy.... very bittersweet... love the crescendo towards the end..... and then the quiet, tender ending.... <3 11. i'll be around - georgeous :) lyrics have aged less well than the others though.... 12. ill wind - the strings at the start are great!! feels like it's from a movie soundtrack <3 trumpet is back! *13. it never entered my mind - the orchestra is so lovely through this whole album, so tender.... 14. dancing on the ceiling - guitar... lovely :) 15. i'll never be the same - so dramatic.... <3 the instrumental section is just phenomenal......... *16. this love of mine - great intro.... lyrics are so lonely.... the strings are so sad.... despite loving 50s/60s crooning, i've only ever listened to sinatra's hits (i was very overwhelmed by the amount of albums of his and so just ignored them lol). mood indigo probably stands out as a favourite, but i loved all the songs :)
Hard to have an opinion of this really. Sure it's fine, but so bland. Maybe that's just time.
Aged like a fine wine, this album is smooth and charming listening. Frank Sinatra was one of the best of his time and this album is a great example of this.
In the Wee Small Hours is such a melancholic and depressing album. If you are in a great mood, you shouldn't listen to that album. It is also such a great album; Sinatra is maybe one of the best crooners of all time. My rating: 4/5
Perfect album for a snowy afternoon walk. Minus 1 point bc of whitemaninthe50s though
Smooth I never realised before how this LP is basically 100% ballads. I think it's actually this side of Frank that I like best though. His vocal technique is very exposed and stands up to the challenge. These are some beautiful versions of some classic songs. They have mostly become (or already were) very common standards, and the versions here feel very conservative next to more interesting variations that were done later
Only Fallout Sinatra for me please. 2/5
I do love Frank’s voice. But this could’ve been half as long. 3/5
Too long! Too samey! Nice music, but I don't think I ever need to listen to a whole album of Frank again. Some of these songs are very good, and could be highly romantic in the right context. That context is not surrounded by other equally dramatic romantic songs
Fine
Pleasant enough as background, but nothing more. 2.5
Omertà
Fine but was thinking there'd be a few more of his well known songs
If you come to this album expecting brassy big-band swing, you may be surprised. "In the Wee Small Hours" is a quiet, deeply personal record—mellow, intimate, and largely removed from Sinatra’s most famous hits. That restraint is precisely its strength. Every track feels carefully chosen and emotionally cohesive. Rather than the swaggering, finger-snapping persona many associate with him, Sinatra presents a far more inward-looking self here. The album lingers on loneliness and unfulfilled longing, revealing a bruised, late-night vulnerability that feels almost confessional. It’s a subtler, bluer Sinatra, and one of his most affecting portraits.
Solid. No big hits, but how can you hate Sinatra?
Very nice
The songs can blend together but this is as smooth as it gets. Nothing else out there like Sinatra, he's instantly recognizable.
It’s alright but a bit samey and very maudlin. Cheer up Frank!
Favourite Songs: Mood Indigo
Generously rounding up because Frank has a nice voice. Jesus this was a slog. All the songs sound exactly the same. All slow to mid tempo sob fest. More like ol Snooze Eyes, amirite?
Wow, this is a super long record of the same mopey song over and over and over again. Frank has a great voice, but I need a little more variety in a record this long. I understand this is a concept album and it’s supposed to tell a coherent story, but I don’t think that story needs to be 50 minutes long. The album mix keeps the band super low so you can hear the full force of Frank's voice, and that doesn't help to break up is monotonous soliloquy. If you, like Frank, love the sound of Frank's voice, then this record is great background music.
Atmospheric and full of longing. Quite good. High 2s.
I actually listened to this in the wee small hours one day to give it the best shot it could have and I remain full of respect, but still didn’t turn the corner on loving Sinatra.
I dunno, I used to like some Sinatra but I don't think this is the Sinatra I used to like. Harmless, though.
3.5/5 Really great but repetitive
one of a kind, generational talent. maybe the most iconic voice of all time. good to know that frank sinatra is a yearner favorite tracks: mood indigo i get along without you very well deep in a dream
tony soprano mode
gorgeous voice, overlong record.
i liked this album better than the last frank sinatra one i got, this album was amazing, i loved every song on it, truly a 10/10 album
In the Wee Small Hours is an album that flows well and is more morose and emotional than other Frank Sinatra albums. I love a clear, unifying theme in an album title, cover, and topic. Sinatra's voice doesn't demand attention, it's present and patient, which makes for a gentle listen. Of course his vocals were legendary, but I wouldn't necessarily call them smooth on this album. There's too much emotion in every single song for his voice to be called smooth.
I liked comparing this album to "Songs for Swingin' Lovers!", also on this project. They're almost like two sides of a coin. Both are regarded as being loosely concept albums; "Swingin' Lovers!" carries more of the daytime, happiness, and romance vibes whereas "In the Wee Small Hours" is a bit more of the nighttime, sadness, and heartbreak. In both cases, he's absolutely setting total moodscapes, and in both cases, he absolutely succeeds. Again, Frank is just sooo buttery. This will be the third time I've described Sinatra this way in as many albums, but it just couldn't be truer. After three Sinatra albums, I definitely feel the same as I always have: I appreciate Sinatra's voice and the arrangements that he sang along to, but I'm not really any more of a fan of his than I was before. I see him as a respected symbol within music, and I appreciate what he brought to music, but I don't necessarily finding it moving me or having an extreme impact on me. His music creates and builds a mood, but doesn't tend to be anything I remember or resonate with long term. Still, this is baseline enjoyable and solid 3 territory for me.
solid listenable
I do kinda feel like Frank Sinatra is just Hallmark Chet Baker. Almost too saccharine.
хотела поставить 3, потому что весь альбом достаточно одинаковый, но дядька настолько красиво поет, что рука не поднимается. грустно, но очень красиво
Sinatra's voice can transport you to a time you never even lived through, like a photographic memory of the 1950s, captured in resin grooves. All the songs evoke the vibe of a past New York on an ordinary night, accompanied by good wine and beautiful ladies.
Sorry, but Sinatra is boring
I liked this very much.
Ska should be banned
Producer: bad news, Frank. We forgot to write any songs for the album Frank: no worry I can just croon random sentences. People will buy the album on the strength of my voice alone. Get the band to play whatever, mate. I’ll work it out. Producer: but what about actual tunes? Melodies, verse, chorus, verse etc? Frank: fuck that. I’m Frank Sinatra, I can do what I want.
I started listening to Sinatra a few years ago after moving to philly, because he used to spend a lot of time in this town, and it just felt right. Walking around in a rainy town while listening to this album is a 5/5.
Close your eyes and clear your mind. Now picture Frank Sinatra. And add in what he sounds like singing. That is this album. Vintage Sinatra.
Frank Sinatra is widely know to have connections to all sorts of unsavory underworld figures and mobsters of the time. After hearing this album and knowing of his success I can only surmise that there were credible threats out there that you had to like him. I cannot see how anyone in their right mind and not under duress would willingly listen to this schmaltz more than once. If there is a hell and I ended up there I am relatively sure this would be the soundtrack.
Though Sinatra's voice is still pleasant as always, the instrumentals this time didn't vary as much and didn't particularly age well, nor did they vary enough for me personally.
I grew up with this, so it's sentimental. But I understand how some find it too repetitive.
This is 50s sad boi music. Hard not to listen to Sinatra and hear Christmas/wintery vibes music.
Another one where I could appreciate the talent and the cultural significance but couldn’t wait for it to end. Not my kind of music at all, and even if it was, 16 songs with same tone and arrangement would have done my head in anyway. 2 stars, sorry Frank, I know you were a god.
Buen álbum pero algo monótono para mí.
Mellow Sinatra, beautiful and moving but all of the songs sounded the same, so it was a little dull

It's Sinatra. Great singer.
Blue eyes is back, with the same old dribble
I’m far from a Sinatra fan, the music is not for me, it’s boring, disingenuous slop and the only reason people were into it was because it was the 50’s and you listened to whatever was forced on the radio and then people kept saying this suave chode was something special and people kept listening and on and on it went. New Yorkers put him on a pedestal and he sadly neve got knocked down a peg. Well I’m sick of it, Sinatra is boring and sure he has a smooth voice but butter is smooth, doesn’t mean it need 50 minutes of butter. This could have been a 45 with two songs, I’d be fine with that. 2 stars
Not my usual sort of thing, but he does what he does very well, and I found this quite moving despite it feeling a bit sentimental at first. Some dreadful rhymes though.
So I am from Jersey and a week does not go by that I do not tune in to Old Blue Eyes who I believe has the greatest singing voice of all time. Sad and sentimental album that I would award a 10.
Good
One of my favourite musical genre. Sinatra has a magic voice
My favourite Sinatra album and one of the better vocal albums in jazz-pop history. Frank was feeling blue, midnight blue, with the (predictable) demise of his relationship with Lana Turner, and it really resonates in the choice of material and the performances.
I personally prefer a loungier, bad-boy Sinatra, so this didn’t really gel with me. It’s kinda one-note in a way that doesn’t really work too well. This would fit in certain settings, but a whole album of this is a drag. It kinda hurts to rate Sinatra this low.
ELEVEN OUT OF TENNN LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMEEEEEE
He's the best of the crooners no doubt but I couldn't engage with this album at all.
Didn't realize Sinatra was making concept albums back in the 50s... It's really good but definitely quite long for what it is. Instrumentals and vocals are all very smooth and it's a very easy listen if not super compelling throughout.
Understand that this is a seminal album, and the skill behind it - but Sinatra, like golf, isn't really my thing.
I liked several songs, but the album was so long…
Undeniably, he has a good voice. Unfortunately, that doesn't make this album any less boring.
Perfect morning music.
More of a song artist for me
His voice is like butter. So much sorrow, so much love, so much longing. Good listen, but I don't think I would repeat.
LOVE IT!
I never know what to do with Frank Sinatra. His music isn't really my thing, but I want to be objective. I it's cool for what it is. But it all starts to sound the same to me, and pretty quickly. Dig the trumpet on Ill Wind. I like that the songs are concise. But when it comes to Dancing on the Ceiling, I prefer Lionel Ritchie. 4
Beautiful voice.
2,4/5
Old Blue Eyes is rather sad on this one. Good to listen to on a rainy day but every song sounds the same rye deeper you go into the album.
Soothing, repetitive, sad early concept album. Musical sleeping pill for sad boys.
So dull.
All due respect to this icon and what was going on in Sinatra's life when he released this album, but In the Wee Small Hours sounds like 16 variations of the same song. Any of them on their own, sure, I'll listen. Put them all together on one interminable album? Ugh. The longer it dragged on, the more hostile I became. While I'd be crushed, too, if Ava Gardner dumped me, I can't abide Sinatra's crooning and the syrupy, dreary repetitiveness of this album.
This did feel a little more maudlin and draggy than I was expecting but can't help it I still love it.
Listens: 3 Standout Tracks: Can't We Be Friends, Dancing On The Ceiling I was really hoping that there would be a second Frank Sinatra album after Songs For Swingin' Lovers, but that it wouldn't basically be more songs about love and women again. Granted, the album isn't exclusively about those two topics, there's elements of melancholy, loneliness, etc., but its basically still all revolving around women and love. I guess I don't really know what to expect. Is that really all there was to sing about? Nothing about post-WWII? Nothing about the American nuclear family? I guess I should just be looking elsewhere for culturally significant music of the 50s and 60s? Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong or bad with this. Is easy going, lovely to listen to, you can just throw it on and enjoy. It's not complicated and sometimes that's just alright.
A CLASSIC! NO ONe like Frank!
It’s a good album, but Sinatra really is a one trick pony. He’s got a silky smooth voice and tells coherent stories, but his style definitely feels dated, unlike some of the stuff that came out of the 60s. Regardless, he’s a massive influence, even in today’s age, and that can’t be ignored.
This album just bores me. 2 stars or D-.
Imagine, if you will, an empty city street, bathed in the cool blue glow of the moon. The street is slightly wet (it'd been raining not too long ago), reflecting the moon's own light back at it. The smell of damp concrete lingers in the air. The street is silent, without sound — that is, except, for a solitary man in a trenchcoat, slowly shuffling up the sidewalk. He's been out walking for a while, who knows how long. Everyone else has long gone to sleep hours ago. Except for him. He hopes every step he takes will get his mind further and further off of her ... but to no avail. He comes to lean against a lamppost. He takes a drag of his cigarette and blows it out into the cool night sky. If only memories could be blown away like that... That, if you'll forgive some poetic license, is the sound of this album. In short: one of the earliest "feels bad, man" albums ever made. 50 minutes of hoping you could still hold her ... but it's far too late for that now. And all you're left with are the memories and thoughts. But, OK, I'll talk straight and direct and reach a hand to the other side of the aisle. You could very easily find this album to be, mm, maybe a **little** one note? I mean, jeez, like I said: this thing is around 50 minutes. That's maybe a bit of a long time to wallow in misery and self-pity. Like, jeez, at some point you've just got to get over this girl, right? Then the next song starts and, oh, boy, here he goes again! For me, though, this thematic repetition doesn't matter for a very simple reason: the mood. If my scene description at the top didn't indicate that, the album projects such a strong, honestly beautiful sort of melancholic mood that I really don't mind spending so much time in it. The arrangements are all just wonderfully, and Sinatra ... y'know, I don't know how often I think of Ol' Blue Eyes as an incredible singer, but over this sort of material, oh, boy, he couldn't be any better. I wouldn't want anyone else singing this stuff. It lends an air of class and, honestly, further emotion. I could totally picture myself wandering the streets and contemplating love and life with Sinatra's voice serenading me. It's all that, and, well ... I remember one time being in a chat with a friend who'd been staying with his girlfriend. He was leaving to go home that day, and he was telling us about how ... empty it was making him feel. Like there was a hole in his heart; he missed her so much already. And as he was telling the chat about this, I happened to be playing this album at the same time. Pure coincidence, I swear; it'd already been playing by the time he started. And although this album is more about heartbreak and your lover leaving you ... the way this music enhanced the atmosphere and the mood of what my friend was saying, I'll never forget it. It'll probably always be what I think of when I think of this album. And how could I have any real negative thoughts when **this** is what this album reminds me of? Again, I get it. If you're not in the right headspace for this album, you'll be bound to get sick of it awful fast. I don't blame anyone who can't put up with all 50 minutes of this. But if you are feeling those kind of feelings where you can wander down the street, trying to forget him, her, them, or whoever ... I can't think of any better music to do it. The man pushes himself off the streetlamp and continues on his way. One step after another, maybe he'll eventually forget about her. Or at least not feel so bad when he thinks about her. Maybe...
The earliest album on the list, and one of the most emotional as well. Sinatra's vocals combined with the elegant orchestra work come together to make a heartbroken yet lovely set of tracks. Solid 5 Stars.
I’m at a 5. 25 minutes into the album, with my brain feeling sad because of the vivid imagery in the lyricism, the lovely sombering tone to the orchestration, and Frank’s voice crooning a deep sense of woe right into my ears, I stood up and looked out of a window, standing in a little doorway with the lights on behind me, but in front of me, a pitch black darkness, save for this one little light I see out of my neighbor’s window. “What Is This Thing Called Love?” was playing, and I just stood there, hearing the song, without a single line in front of me, yet understanding every word & feeling it all the same. The light went out right as the song ended. You can’t feel anything more potent than that. That cover art of Sinatra, cigar in hand, on a moody blue street in the rain, contemplating how something so potent as love can work both ways… that’s the mood of the album. You have to find a way to get into that headspace & that mood to truly appreciate this for what it is. Granted, maybe you don’t have to be as cinematic or as immersive as I managed to find myself in, but I’ll be damned if it didn’t do wonders. I can’t go track by track here, since the album is decently one-note in that sense, but my goodness, you have to just feel those tracks for 50 minutes, somehow, someway. It is a sobering mood, and for 1955, I’m just stunned at how well that sense of heartbreak & loneliness is captured so, so well. It’s been 70 years since this came out, it’s the oldest album on the list, and yet it might be one of the finest “sad” albums I’ve ever heard. You do have to hear this before you die, and I’m so very glad it’s here. Frank Sinatra, you did damn good with this one. It’s a very easy 5 for my tastes, if not a bit higher.
Standouts - But all of these sound the same In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning
just delightful
Not for me. Incredibly boring. Every song is the same gentle crooning, which I could maybe get the appeal of for a song or two but 16 is far too many, even though the album is not that long.
All round decent - not usual listening but good background music for chilling
Dank piñata.
Lovely smooth voice, sounds like Christmas. Unfortunately there are way too many songs that all sound the same
I assumed this would be one of the earlier "Frank" albums, but somehow was his NINTH already. Distinctive voice that undoubtedly changed what was to come, but hard to love an entire album of it.
Beautiful, emotional and MAN is Frank an absolute simp. The love and adoration absolutely oozes from each song. His lyricism is poetic and elegant, proven to make anyone fall in love with you. While I found this album incredibly beautiful, 85 all felt really similar and that made the album feel incredibly long.
When Your Lonely Heart Has Learned Its Lesson 1001 Albums Generator 160 (11/12/2025) I know that there absolutely has to be a Frank Sinatra album on any list like this, and I won't deny that. His deep, crooning vocals and lush orchestration are iconic. And In The Wee Small Hours is a really sad, vibey album. It really does sound exactly like its cover and made me want to go smoke a cig in the rain and feel sad. I just wish that the songs stuck out more to me. This may just be a personal failure or lack of taste, but this style of silky smooth vocal jazz is really hard for me to focus on. Besides the first two songs, which are really good, the rest of the album flowed together. The version of It Never Entered My Mind was also really pretty. I can acknowledge the importance of this album and this artist in music history while also saying that he just isn't for me, outside of his hits, none of which are on this album. 2/5 for being technically high quality, but just so outside of what I consider "my thing".

Das ist nicht meine Musik, aber es ist schön. Bin bei 3 1/2 und ich runde einfach mal auf.
I had to stop listening because he was ruining some of my favorite jazz standards
not my style
Relaxing and smooth, but not really exciting. Definitely sets a mood!
Reminds me of pouring rain, sitting inside on a cozy chair with a bottle of scotch
6 Frank don’t do it for me
This probably hit soooo crazy if the person you were going steady with ghosted you in 1955
It's Frankie, he did a good job.
