At his croonin’ best
Schwingtastic.3*
Something, something New York in June. Let's go Knicks!!
I like Frank
Say what you want about Sinatra, but he knows how to sing a song. You Make Me Feel So Young, I've Got You Under My Skin, and Anything Goes are all absolute classics. Listening to them just reminds me of hanging out with my grandpa, a huge Sinatra fan. I thought It Happened in Monterey and Makin' Whoopie were pretty funny, which I didn't expect from this album at all. Really good stuff, even if a lot of it is sorta samey and nearly all of it is covers.
Classic
"Hey baby, this album swings baby! It feels good to croon so I'll croon all over here. Who loves ya, baby?" Okay, that last one was just Kojak. Top tracks: "You Make Me Feel So Young," "Makin' Whoopee"
bog standard 3. fun listen. I'm sure I'll revisit parts from time to time. onward.
medium talent
It is rather remarkable that Frank Sinatra make a career where every single song sounds the exact same
Parlour music…
OK
Swing isn't my thing, but it was alright. Keeping this in a corner of my Spotify account lmao.
One of his best
Hard to believe this was less than 10 years before the rolling stones. Boring
Irresistible.
It swings alright! A collection of pleasant big band songs that is very expected from Frank Sinatra. Also the Cole Porter version om Anything Goes is obviously superior.
3/5
Feeling nostalgic for the songs that my parents and grandparents would play when I was young, but also fun to discover a few that I wasn't familiar with!
Maybe it needs to grow on me. Let's voice personality carry, honestly gets boring.
Songs For Swingin’ Lovers! By Frank Sinatra is an album that one day I want to dance with my wife to in our living room. I think it’s a great album. Top Three: Pennies From Heaven, You Make Me Feel So Young, Too Marvelous for Words
This is my favorite kind of music <3
Fine. What i expected it to be
Ik vind dit eigenlijk te oud om aan te zetten. Het is leuk als onderdeel van een film, cartoon of een Fallout game, maar om er zo naar te gaan zitten luisteren vind ik wat lastig. En toch, ondanks dat, kan ik het als het eenmaal een tijdje aan staat wel redelijk goed hebben. Ik zal er alleen niet rouwig om zijn als het voorbij is. Zo'n knerpende bigband is aan mij niet helemaal besteed en alle nummers zijn, tenzij je actief naar de teksten luistert misschien, onderling enorm inwisselbaar. Het is of een zure 2 of een hele grijze 3. Ik pot m'n zuurheid nog even op, misschien kan ik dan op een later moment nog een keer lekker ranten.
I mean it was alright? Every song is kinda the same but cool album for a sunny good day mood. It is frank Sinatra at the end of the day 🥲
How can ya not love frank
Just because it’s ‘olblue eyes
Each song sounds good, but really similiar to the others. Albums alright ig. Update: it's feels better on secone listen
Pretty good, definitely that Sinatra vibe you picture. I enjoyed it but probably wouldn’t listen to it again.
Muy weno, simplemente sinatra (no sinaka)
It's Frank. How can you not love Frank? I'm an old metalhead and I love Frank!
I enjoyed it, but it was a bit repetitive
romantiksells
This record probably holds the most amount of Sinatra that any one person would ever need. Glad to have the chance to listen to it and it's not terrible (great voice obviously) but its very Sinatra and it all really sounds the same doesn't it?
I have never been a fan of crooners. Sure Frank Sinatra can sing if you like that style of music. The music is good and songs are good it’s just basic crooning. A basic dude singing basic tunes. Sure people like it but doesn’t mean I needed to hear it.
Big band, swing and Sinatra. What a voice, what a time to be alive post WWII and have this silky smooth sounds come over the radio. The album as a whole sounds like a run on sentence. Works more for me on a song by song basis.
Currently watching Mad Men and I feel like I should be courting a mistress wearing a fedora and smoking 2 packs a day. The song Making Whoopie? crazy.
You make me feel so young comes on and I immediately tear up. What an absolute masterpiece. Can you imagine sipping on some whisky neat while this guy croons with a big band behind him? 4.7— loved listening to ol’ blue eyes
Pleasant, but not very interesting. 6/10 Pretty Good
Siempre Sinatra
Clássico, legal, porém bem fora do meu gosto.
It’s so hard to understand how important Sinatra was now. It can easily sound dated and cheesy. And so much of it is received as part of the cultural landscape
It’s not bad, but it doesn’t hold my attention either.
Just so good
Solid album with some classics on it. It's hard for me to listen to an entire album of this kind of music though. I don't really see myself ever just sitting down to do that.
The sound of this music is synonymous with its era. I can't help but think of a classy nightclub, a night on the town, or many of the motion pictures Frank Sinatra himself might be starring in. The album feels like it's full of standards... often ones where Sinatra's version is the gold standard. If I'm listening to this type of music, he's the one I want singing it.
The best music for me is the music that brings you into its world, the kinds of albums that you could live inside. This one does that: it evokes a Manhattan that probably in reality never existed apart from the movies, a New York of art deco skyscrapers, booths in steakhouses with cocktails and finely tailored suits, autumnal walks down rainy avenues or among the fallen leaves in Central Park. It's all mythological, but a lot of music is. It's smooth, it feels effortless in the way that can only happen at the highest levels of competence; I appreciate the importance of Sinatra to American musical culture, maybe even a particular aspect of American identity. I don't especially enjoy listening to it though other than as background music.
I knew about half the songs already and liked them on Spotify.
I can recognize that this album is at least some what good but OMG i found it sooooo boring. I couldn’t even force myself to finish it. Not for me.
It's not my favorite Sinatra thing, I like the Basie albums most. But, it's still Nelson Riddle Orchestra and Sinatra, so kinda hard to go wrong.
who up sinatring their frank
Frank you, and the horse you rode in on
Treacle toned, masterfully delivered, hackneyed.
Drove into the countryside with Kyra, perfect for a rainy day.
If I could give it a lower score I would.
A whole album of crooning is a too much for me. A song here-and-there sprinkled into a larger swing record is fine but the I find the voice annoying after awhile. The music is great though. I do love the big band swing sound.
This was so boring that it was hard to get through. I lan listen to one or two swing songs but a whole album for sure is too much.
i like sinatra, but also his albums dont make much sense since its just singles put together.
It all sounds so samey...
Timeless music from ol' blue eyes. Great vocals well well before auto tune. A classic that stands the test of time.
A voz de Sinatra é incrível, mas senti falta de melhores dotes de composição nesse álbum. O disco inteiro é bem monótono, e por mais que seja cantado maravilhosamente, ainda causa um pouco de tédio. Prefiro mil vezes ouvir ele com Jobim. 2.5
good
This is the album for making whoopie.
Loads of cute lyrics and masterful playing from the king of jazz himself, Frank Sinatra. Personally, I love putting his stuff on in the background and vibing or doing some art. Very calming experience. 3/5
Like a compilation album but bangers
probably wont return to this much not bad but i definitely prefer wee small hours. and waaay prefer non-vocal jazz tbh
Songs for making me snooze. I can't muster up much hate for Frank Sinatra's music. Nor can I muster up much enthusiasm for it. I had friends in the 90s who loved Frank and even then, to me, it felt anachronistic. Yeah, he's got a great voice. 100% But when I listen to him, I either get hints of Christmas albums or 50s/60s lounge clubs with fedoras and martinis. There's not much else there for me. Sooo, I'm giving this a big fat 3 on the grounds of it being so very mid.
I enjoyed it. It was exactly as I thought it would be. He has a great voice and yet I have a hard time feeling a lot about it.
3/5 - You know exactly what this is going to sound like before you put it on, and it sounds exactly like that. It's pleasant and professional. Yes, you should hear what Frank Sinatra sounds like before you die, if you somehow have no idea.
Lovely.
Silly gigolos makin’ whoopee
This guys understanding of geology is schist.
all the songs sound the same
It was great to hear It, I downloaded all the tracks of the album!
1.8 achei as musicas mt parecidas e n é tão minha vibe
Chairman of the board? More like the CEO of great.
8/10 Probably won't be my favorite Sinatra album but it gets like 2 whole bonus points for containing my favorite Sinatra song of all time (I've Got You Under My Skin). Good stuff.
Swing is always fantastic and Anything Goes is particularly great. EDIT: Just learnt he's a Zionist. Fuck that noise.
Listening to an entire Sinatra album in one sitting is a bit much
i like frank's voice but don't find it all that emotionally affecting the accompanying band tho, is tops daddy-o
a pleasant album. i like frank and the whole rat pat aesthetic. really only one of the 'hits' i know frank for - "i've got you under my skin". i know the song "pennies from heaven", and like it, but i think we can all agree the louis prima version is superior.
That's Frank alright
All the songs feel similar to each other, they aren't bad but I can't tell them apart in my mind after having listened to the record
Good
First frank album I've listened to. I get it, it's good!
I'm really not a Sinatra fan and this record did nothing to change my mind. My feelings listening to this alternated between 😴 and 🤢
You gotta love a concept album from Frank Sinatra. It’s not as good as the album of downers he recorded after Ava Gardner dumped him, but the Chairman rarely disappoints.
Chansons de gros loveur… il raconte rien de spécial. J’aime pas du tout. Tout se ressemble.
i love this era of music & frank sm 🥹
Cheesy, feels like the musicians have to hold back to make space for Frank. Not very interesting
Trevligt måste man ju säga 3/5
Classic voice Classic songs Classic album
Frank only does one trick, but it’s a pretty good trick. Also, I watched a tv series dramatizing the making of the Godfather and it made Sinatra look like a huge prick who tried to have the mob kill the movie because he didn’t like how the obvious Sinatra-style singer was portrayed.
4.0 Kinda the same thing over and over, but its Frank and hes swinging so Im going to give it a 4,
Anything Goes, yaaaaaa
Oh Sinatra we know just how hard you fucked king. Smoothest gangster in the game Only downfall of this album is all the songs sound the same but they are still delightful
this is definitely on someones swingers playlist (either the movie or the lifestyle). If you love Frankie then of course you'll like it, also songs about plowing and using flowery language is always good.
I mean… it’s Sinatra. You either enjoy his stuff or you don’t. I dig it baby. Plus there’s a song called Making Whoopee so what’s there to complain about? …Other than those horns being waaaay too sharp
Classic stuff. A big influence on my grandfather.
Baita album, definitivamente um dos melhores de sinatra, especialmente para quem está apaixonado (o que não é meu caso) Talvez eu teria aproveitado mais ainda se eu estivesse apaixonado por alguem
Buen disco, tampoco para echar cohetes.
Literally love, so insanely good. Who doesn’t love this crooner.
You’re getting to be a rabbit, hippity hop I love you! You’re getting to be a rabbit with me.
Sinatra is a genius and this album is a masterpiece. I love the brass, in conversation with his voice. I can only guess this is what slow love sounds like.
I find swing a bit cheesy a lot of the time but there are so many classic tunes here, it still makes me smile.
A typical 50s album - very sentimental, most songs sound extremely similar, and it clearly would work best in a dance hall setting. Unfortunately, I find it painfully dull and repetitive. It feels like half the songs have the same hook; I literally had to double check multiple times that Spotify wasn't malfunctioning. Clearly plenty of people like this stuff, but I am very much not the audience. Score subject to change (to a 2) in the future - for now I find it boring but not overtly bad.
Well I didn't mind this too much, more pleasant than I expected but I don't know that I'll come back to it.
3/5
Meh... Just ok. Not great
I did this rating. I said it was canon and that Frank Sinatra is an original swooner, the jazzy background is a huge plus and he is worth the next generations to listen to to see how it is done. Not sure why it did not go through as it DID go through? Asch. No worries.
It's good, but not something I'd listen to all the way through in one sitting
Classic
No denying he's got a great voice but, to my mind, this is just good background music.
Lovely
My rating 3.8. Every song the same yet you know all the lyrics. A fun romp.
It is very hard to miss with Sinatra.
Never gave Mr. Frank a chance, but this album is very good. I’m thinking four stars. Especially cool that he was supporting the swinging community like this
Frank Sinatra always sounds like he's basically talk-singing. Like his singing is one-notch above talking. Frank Sinatra has that domestic abuse vibe. But I guess that's kinda hot to some people? He's definitely having one-too-many whiskeys and smacking around his wife when she says something smart. It's fun to listen to. If you were looking to put the moves on someone and you were both doting on each other, and say you invited them over to a meal that you were gonna cook, and you timed it where this was playing when they got there and during dinner (with proper lighting), and assuming the food was delicious, it could work really well and likely lead to a trip down to pound town. I do actually like this. It has a certain effect, an overall charm, albeit one that might leave you with a mark that you'll explain as an accident that occurred on account of your own clumsiness. Always so clumsy, falling and bruising all the time. Stupid in love, stuck in a cycle of abuse.
5/6/26. I'm not the biggest Frank Sinatra person. Great voice and classic sound, but not my cup of tea. The songs are very predictable although the big band elements are cool.
Boosh
Aged well, very smooth
Different era but interesting Hadn’t listened to a lot of Sinatra
I’m a sucker for some crooning
Was in the perfect mood for this and it hit soooo good
70 year old album and it still hits.....I want to cook with this on
Sinatra isn't my favourite, but it's fun to hear the way he plays with the delivery of the lyrics to make each song almost sound conversational. Have to love the bass clarinet on "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me."
I'm a big fan of the crooners like Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Tony Bennett, etc. I could listen to this kind of music all day - I love the atmosphere it creates. I played a few Frank Sinatra songs in high school jazz band and started to get into his music around that time. His singing voice is gorgeous and I love the style of the jazz accompaniments. A couple of songs from this album are in my library already (You Make Me Feel So Young & I've Got You Under My Skin) and there are a few jazz standards I'm familiar with, though this was my first time hearing Sinatra's versions. Not my favourite album of his, but still a pleasant listen. I can't believe this is one of only three Frank Sinatra albums on the list and none of them include any of his (imo) best songs: Strangers in the Night, My Way, Somethin' Stupid, That's Life, The World We Knew, Fly Me To The Moon, The Way You Look Tonight, Summer Wind, Luck Be A Lady, It Was A Very Good Year, The Best Is Yet To Come, Bewitched, and many more. All of these songs are worth checking out! He apparently recorded 59 albums during his career so I think his best songs are spread out across a bunch of those, but I still think he has several albums that could've represented his talent better than this one.
I was excited to see Frank Sinatra’s Songs for Swingin’ Lovers because I thought I had a vinyl copy of this. Turns out I have the sequel to it - a Swingin’ Affair. So naturally I had to listen to both today. Frank Sinatra’s music was a great pairing for the moodier weather and dinner.
First time I've listened to a full frank album
Can't go wrong with Sinatra. I feel like I'd enjoy cooking a spaghetti dinner to this. Nothing special though, felt like one long song as there wasn't really much variation. I don't know how much creativity in music was happening in the 50s, feels like a lot of these albums from then fall into that same trap of sounding all the same. But maybe thats just what people were into at the time.
D:
Nice pleasant music for tiptoeing through the daisies. This would be a great album to own on vinyl.
I'm sure I overuse the term 'classic' in my reviews here, but this is exactly that. What a voice, what a time!
Una joya espectacular
The album started strong and i resonated with some of the songs but it just got slower towards the end i cant find myself listening to it again except the habit one and anything goes
This is not normally my style, but dammit I can't help but like Sinatra. It's not always the vibe I want, but it's a good vibe! "You Make Me Feel So Young" "Old Devil Moon" "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "Anything Goes" were standouts for me.
Not really into this sinatra album, was really out of it when i was in the first song.
I’m probably going to go against the grain here but I felt this album was a tale of two halves. I really enjoyed the first half of the album, all of tracks 1-9 were superb, the standouts been ‘you make me feel so young’ ‘I’ve got you under my skin’ and ‘old devil moon’ I then felt like the album fell off a cliff and was full of ‘filler’ culminating in ‘makin whoopee’ which was dreadful! No denying the vocals have survived the generations and he would succeed in today’s society still. But this album didn’t have hit after hit as I was expecting but those first 9 tracks brought enough for a pretty decent score still. Best track- ‘old devil moon’ Worst track- ‘makin whoopee’ Overall 8/10
Frank Sinatra - Songs for Swinging Lovers Some might nowadays consider this album easy-listening but that would be doing it a huge disservice as it really deserves the label effortless-listening. Sinatra and Riddle absolutely at the top of their game from start to finish. Highlights - the big hitters of Under My Skin & You Make Me Feel So Young, of course. But also the optimistic melancholia of We'll Be Together Again, the amusing take on 'modernity' of Anything Goes and the killer last verse of Makin' Whoopee. Always had a soft spot though for the mystery of It Happened in Monterey, so that is my pick No weak tracks but I suppose I Thought About You if I have to go for one. Faultless 10/10
Pleasant but very samey
No lo conocía y me voló la cabeza
Lovely album, not something I would choose to listen to usually, and I feel I'd have to be in a certain mood to enjoy it. 3/5.
A GREAT collection!
Well it’s all competently written and very well performed but good god is it boring. At 45 minutes it’s not really that long but the 15 supposedly different songs blend together in a way that makes it feel much longer. Sinatra obviously has a legendary voice but the whole thing is so corny and saccharine that I just can’t enjoy it as anything other than background music.
The most 'Frank Sinatra' Frank Sinatra album that you'll ever hear. Every song is just pure Sinatra in all his glory. Charming, crooning, swinging and singing. Which is fine, but gets a bit repetitive halfway in. An overall enjoyable listen, though.
I fucking loved this - I just felt relaxed listening to this
A very pleasant and nice listening experience! The songs definitely blend together but not much to complain about. His voice was one of a kind! Top Songs: You Make Me Feel So Young, Anything Goes
I know Sinatra is supposed to be timeless, classic music. But after three albums of Sinatra on this list, I think I can definitively say I do not like his music. Sorry. So boring and I do not heard anything special in his voice. Sounds like a person having a conversation and they draw out or accentuate on certain words to make it sound like singing. And while the players on this album are surely top tier musicians, musically, each song sounds like the next. This just isn’t for me. Would be lovely to have on the background at a dinner party. But that’s about it.
Any Olive Garden veteran circa 1996-2005 knows most of these songs by heart. From the first verse, I had a brief moment of PTSD as I was transported to being in the weeds on a Friday afternoon juggling neverending pasta bowls, all you can eat soup and salad, and waters with lemon. After some internal reassurance and deep breathing, I remembered I am no longer working the OG FOH, and I relaxed enough to enjoy some Frank. And to all those old pearl clutchers who were determined to censor our music in the 80s and 90s, shame on you. "Makin Whoopee" is just scandalous you old biddies.
Simplemente el gran Frank Sinatra.
Masterpiece, very Influential for when I’m making jazz and swing songs
I haven’t listened to much frank sinatra before but this album was really nice
Whatever. This is just whatever I guess it’s wedding music for assholes.
Classic, elegant and perfect for spring
It is to funky for me and not my type of taste for music
Boring
It's Sinatra - so expect incredible love songs. This album doesn't disappoint where that is concerned. Each song is wonderful on it's own, but as an album it feels repetitive at times. With that said, the songs are *really* good.
I just listened to Frank Sinatra's album called "In The Wee Small Hours" a little over a week ago as part of this project. I ended up liking 6 songs on that one. I currently have 12 total songs liked by Frank, with one song from this album "I've Got You Under My Skin". I've never listened to this whole album though - I just liked that one because I'm familiar with it from somewhere - probably from a movie or TV show or something. So, I'm excited to dive in and see if I can add any more Sinatra songs to my library on Spotify. After listening 3 times ... I ended up liking 5 new to me songs - "You Make Me Feel So Young", "You're Getting to be a Habit With Me", "Too Marvelous For Me", "Love Is Here To Stay", "Making Whoopee" - in addition the one I already have. Funny - in "You're Getting to be a Habit With Me" the metaphor of a girlfriend as a drug was even being used back in Sinatra days - and of course this metaphor is used widely in rock music. "Making Whoopee" - takes a pretty drastic turn as the song goes on - from happy marriage to divorce court in 3 minutes. Liked songs on Spotify: 6/15 Rating: 2/5
3+ Stars (9/15)
I guess, but they all sound the same.
Love his voice, talking about the moon everytime 🌙🌙🌙
Buenas canciones, te transmite cosas q solo las canciones viejas pueden
Classic, sweet, uplifting, nice slow morning kind of listen
I mean, it's Frank. What an amazing singer.
Frank Sinatra’s Songs for Swingin' Lovers! is a collection of romantic standards where the vocals are the undisputed centerpiece, supported by a cheeky lyrical wit that still charms. While the opening track, "You Make Me Feel So Young," is a standout, the true highlight is "I’ve Got You Under My Skin," which features a brilliant, driving build-up toward a grand finale. However, the early-to-mid section of the record feels undeniably dated, relying on a mid-century formula that can come across as "bland" or "non-offensive." Despite its groovy, consistent basslines, the album often feels like high-end background noise—perfect for a boutique coffee shop, but perhaps too safe for a deep listen. It’s an easy, sophisticated listen, but it lacks the edge needed to be truly gripping.
Admittedly this entire genre carries a huge amount of nostalgic weight in my household. Rat Pack is our dinner-time prep go to and I'm very much looking forward to the day that my children put on some Frank Sinatra of their own volition. This particular album is filled with timeless classics sung in Frank's signature style. I love the dancing bassline combined with the punching brass section. Sure it lacks some of the emotional depth of Sinatra's later work but if you want cool, sophisticated, suave, then this it. Grab yourself a Martini. 5 stars.
Hard not to enjoy this tbh - the exact right songs and arrangements for old Frank. Favourite track: Pennies from Heaven
perfect dinner party record 4 stars would definitely sound great on vinyl
Kind of boring. Probably because I've heard so much Frank Sinatra before. Happy to be done with this one
Do not really like that sound. But I really wanna like it in the future
Eh, feels quaint and a little too safe for me
Muy lindo álbum. Es agradable de escuchar sea o no tu preferencia musical. Este tipo de música, o Frank Sinatra en sí, me parece bastante repetitiva. La puntuación no es porque el álbum sea malo, porque me parece una obra hermosa, más bien por lo repetitivo que encuentro este género
Listening to this directly after 'Bitches Brew', both filed under 'jazz'. The eternal tragedy of language and its many subtle treacheries. That said, this is exactly what you think it's going to be, no more or less, so don't expect your preconceptions to be shattered on listening. For me, it's fine: the pinnacle of cheese, inoffensive and samey, reassuringly smooth, with no ambitions to leap beyond its cosy enclosure.
vibey but the lyrics of anything goes rub me the wrong way
Just the perfect background album
One classic after another, songs that have been so part of the fabric of our lives that they are just part of our collective subconscious at this point.
lowkey every track sounds the same its so repetitive maybe 3 songs stand out
Very similar songs. Quite jazzy. Definitely on grandads jukebox or record player.
A thoroughly pleasant and enjoyable set of songs, many of which will be familiar to most of us. Frank’s voice is in fine condition here and Nelson Riddle’s orchestral scores are magnificent. The main complaint from many listeners seems to be the lack of variety in the song styles which I can understand, however the album doesn’t outstay its welcome and evokes some lovely imagery of the early days of a relationship. Terrific stuff.
🤷♂️ 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
This 2* rating is a testament to how everlasting Sinatra is. The music itself is good, but Sinatra is such a universal figure at least in American music that this album is kind of just what you’d expect. Terrific, but it isn’t anything particularly special because it is just Sinatra and everyone knows Sinatra
Siempre bien
Songs for Swingin’ Lovers! by Frank Sinatra is a defining statement of mid-century vocal jazz. Backed by Nelson Riddle’s sharp, buoyant arrangements, Sinatra delivers effortless phrasing, wit, and rhythmic precision throughout. The album balances charm and technical control, turning standards into something vivid and contemporary for its time. It’s not just a collection of songs, it’s a cohesive mood, polished and confident, though occasionally a bit too pristine to feel emotionally risky. 8/10
Sounds like the music played in a film scene where they go back in time. Not bad but a bit boring and just nothing special
- generally good vibes, I like Frank - don’t forget folks, that’s what you get folks… - would probably listen again
Pleasant and unobstructive swingy classic pop songs as expected! No smarmy remarks this time. Highlights: "You Make Me Feel So Young", "Pennies from Heaven", "I've Got You Under My Skin"
I mean we are etalking about frank sinatra here, do i need to say a word?
I really like it but i give it a 3 just based on it not being the best frank sinatra album
I understand the significance of this album and Sinatra in general, but that doesn’t mean I like it. Anything Goes was my favorite song on the album.
I do not get the appeal and the resurgence of this style of music.
At first it was a vibe but it quickly lost its novelty as it all kinda sounds the same and drones on a little. Still a vibe despite that. It's a classic for a reason.
Very inoffensive, but it resulted in it being pretty repetitive after a while. Regardless, even though it all sounded like one big song it was still enjoyable.
Nothing wrong with the music itself but it makes me feel like I’m in an Italian American restaurant with lots of pictures on the walls. About to be underwhelmed by a Caesar salad and overcooked spaghetti
I only listened to some. His phrasing is really amazing, like what you’d hope a solo instrument would shape melodies like. Hard for me to really listen to though, it’s a style that’s such a part of the fabric of older moves and films that I struggle to separate it from just being “setting”
I was already familiar with Frank Sinatra and several tracks from this album. I may have even heard the full album before once or twice. It's a swing jazz album featuring Frank Sinatra's outstanding vocals. This is an excellent album with many songs that have become standards, and many more which could be. Not only are the individual tracks solid, but there is cohesiveness across the album in terms of sound and themes is a nice touch as well. While I may not always be in the mood for this type of music, this album is as good as it gets for this genre.
Music that captures the feeling of being drunk (not to be confused with music that captures the reality of being drunk...Sex Pistols or something). I wasn't day drinking on the Tuesday morning I heard this one, so that might be part of the problem. What do you score it when you like each individual song on something very much, but only when there is lime a month between tracks? I was leaning towards 2, but "Anything Goes" reminded me of how much I like "Temple of Doom" so I'll make it a 3.
love
Songs For Emotionally Repressed 90’s Football Managers!
Pleasant, but very samey.
Oleaginous
It's ok
3.37
Es un álbum interesante, no soy amante de este tipo de música pero la idea es expandir el gusto músical y dejar de repetir constantemente las mismas playlist.
Sucker for Sinatra
Sinatra es siempre un placer. Lo escuché cocinando.
Frank at his best. Band is sharp and the recording engineer did a superb job.
sure this was lovely back in the day…. but not my thing
Never been a fan of Sinatra, though I can respect his music. The one thing I noticed in this listen is I think his older voice has a lot more character to it than his young voice. Still wouldn't listen to either by choice, though.
Oh Ole Blue Eyes ... you sound so dated.
I could see fucking to some of these songs.
Eh rat pack fan of their hits not their albums
Velmi dober🔥
15/04/2026 It did get a bit boring in places, so no more than 4 stars Frank I'm afraid. Spotify listeners: 18 million
it's basically the same song over and over again but hey, at least it's a good song
Who doesn't love Ol' Blue Eyes?!
The best crooner in town ! Just an easy listen nothing more than a steady 3 stars
Medio Meh, tiene un tema conocido pero el resto del álbum suena igual y pasa sin pena ni gloria, eso sí la voz de Sinatra es impecable.
Pretty much what you would expect. Very easy to listen to!
Can never say no to a run through of a Frank Sinatra album.
sinatra is pretty tuff ngl! this felt like watching a rom-com musical from back in the day--i liked it a lot
Easy to listen and hard to rate. I may enjoy Sinatra once in a while and can absolutely understand the hype but it's kinda template and boring for me.
OMG - that title has a different meaning these days! The whole big band thing is an era that does nothing for me, but I do recall watching the seniors grooving to this when I was a kid Of the couple of songs which stand out, the only time this would be okay is in a movie soundtrack
Hard to separate this from the Whole Frank Sinatra Thing, but somehow managed. For better or worse, he really is the absolute best of this whole genre - 5 stars for the music.
No notes. Truly a masterpiece, fantastic and beautiful and classic love songs by one of the best to ever grace a record.
cozy and warm, feels like home somehow (i’m not American)
heres the thing. the album is beautiful, and was a symbol of this era. obviously i know its a classic for a reason, but I have heard all the songs before so i was a little bored listening through.
me sentí en juego de gemelas
Favorite album of all time
❤️
icon of music.
Amazing Sinatra album, great classics sung by him, some songs go way back for me, love his swooning voice throughout this album. Great. 1. You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me 2. Love Is Here To Stay 3. I've Got You Under My Skin
Classic voice performing some classic songs. It’s pretty solid. Favourites: I’ve Got You Under My Skin
I’m not a big Sinatra fan. He has a great voice and it was a good time growing up when he and the rat pack were together. Just because I don’t like him shouldn’t affect how I feel about his music in general.
This album is why Frank Sinatra is known as the fifth Beatle.
Stocked with classics and eternally enjoyable, with Sinatra’s voice constantly pulling you in. Favorite songs: I’ve Got You Under My Skin, You Make Me Feel So Young, and Makin’ Whoopee.
124. not bad
I've never been a big fan of Sinatra but at least most of these I haven't already heard a million times
'too marvelous for words' is very enjoyable. realising I'm not much of a jazz fan too much. Or whatever genre Frank Sinatra is but its a pretty good album thus far. I just don't connect to it as much as I thought I would since it seems like the whole bloody world loves Sinatra. But its still pretty capital.
enjoyable go Frankie
!!!
Sure, it’s samey, but the big band songs are a soft spot for me
Frankie baby at his best.
Another surprise discovery. Frank usually leaves me feeling a little cold and I grow tired of hearing crooner music after about 10 minutes, but it was hard to feel mad listening to this. The arrangements are rich, the recordings stellar and Frank sounds like he's having the time of his life. Of course it feels a little cheesy, but that feeling of being in love should be. I can but think of the generations of people who have swung their loved ones around the dance floor, cheek to cheek, to You Make Me Feel So Young. While the music certainly is of it's time, you can't deny the timeless of the sentiments. In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble, they're only made of clay. But SFSL is here to stay (sorry)
This is the kind of yearning I strive for. Thanks Frank.
I kind of have a headache at the moment, so let's see how this goes. So I actually vibed with this pretty well. Maybe it's because I was kinda craving 50s/early 60s music the other day so I was already in the mood for it, but whatever the reason this album was pretty cute and fun! I think my faves were "You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me", "I Thought About You", and "How About You". I also really liked the vocals and instrumentation on "We'll Be Together Again". Obviously I've already heard a few of these before, but it was fun to chill with this type of sound.
It's Frank Sinatra, and he's doing the Frank Sinatra thing, and I can probably leave it there. He's got a collection of great pop songs here that he brings his effortless charisma to, and it's an enjoyable listen. Yes, the songs run into each other a little, and yes, a couple of them (Makin' Whoopee and Anything Goes in particular) have been rendered kind of bizarre and laughable with age, but there is still a joy in songs like How About You?, You Make Me Feel So Young, and other earnest, enjoyable pop standards. It's a solid listen.
Notes: a lot of these songs have similar melodies which can be hard to differentiate which song is which. Lyrics are thoughtful and overall, the album's pleasant.
Pretty Cool
Great music to listen to while studying, but other then that, most of the songs sounded the same, i liked the intrumental more than the singing. Id say its great with a morning cup of coffee.
Classic, siempre lo clasico es mejor. Definitivamente me hace querer una novia hermosa en quien pensar mientras que escucho estas canciones. Primera canción, hermosa, casi la pongo en la playlist de canción es que solo le voy a dedicar a mi futura esposa. La de Monterey m gusto mudo, m hizo querer cantarla aun sin saber la letra.OK la 3 me representa como persona, hermosa, realmente qro una novia en este momento. M esta empezando a poner triste que solo duren 2 min, son muy hermosas para durar tan poco. Escuchar musica "antigua" m hizo realizar que en la musica de ahora realmente no se siente la estructura de estrofas, versos y rimas, solo m doy cuenta de q una canción tiene rima cuando es rap, lo cual m preocupa. Old devil Moon, m hizo pensar en mi ex OK, guilty, es q yo a esa la comparaba con la Luna, pero ella no es una besha luna como pensaba, si no una del diablo, aunque tampoco la qro satanizar, tipo si m lastimo y m afecto en mal sentido x toda mi vida, pero yo tambn la trate de la vrga, No la qro satanizar ni victimizarme, pero al igual si m identifique OKK.We'll be together again, 1 minuto en la canción y ya siento la tristeza dentro de mi, canción perfecta para identificarme como yearner loser lesbian. Makin' Whoopee, fun as hell, I need this in my wedding.Se me esta apagando la pc tons las escuche de corrido a lo ultimo pero todas m encantaron ABSOLUTE MUSIC.
Muy bueno Frank aunque no eran mis canciones favs suyas
5/10
Sounds like Sinatra. Not sure if its better or worse than any of his other albums. Does the trick
I mean...it is Frank Sinatra. He is so talented and he is only going to have the best band. However, I do enjoy the Louis Prima version of "Pennies From Heaven" from Elf better lol. Ironically "You Make Me Feel So Young" is from Elf lolol. This is a great album. I am not sure how much of this I will come back to, but this is really well done. Liked Songs: "You Make Me Feel So Young" , "It Happened In Monterey" , "You're Getting To Be A Habbit With Me" , "Old Devil Moon" , "Pennies From Heaven" , "I've Got You Under My Skin" , "We'll Be Together Again" , "Swingin' Down The Lane" , "Anything Goes" , "How About You?"
i don't know how to rate this, due to how Sinatra works as an artist: prolific, with a lot of performances of songs that are not written by him and an excellent vocal ability. In that sense, some albums like this are "perfect". I don't find anything wrong, they are a comfortable listening and despite not being something revolutionary, his voice is superb. How can you classify an artist so proficient and so out of your temporal zeitgeist, that you're probably oblivious to much of other references and factors to judge?
Some sweet lovey-dovey swing~ Honestly, I enjoyed it but most of the songs do sound very similar and there is little differentiation between them. One long sweet tune.
Great for ambient music, sweet and calming.
Classic Frank Sinatra album, some individual great songs, but I think this style is repetitive
a pleasant album but nothing id write home about personally. i like sinatra but usually i curate his songs to a few of his best when i get an itch to listen to him. the music is really good and he sounds great, but theres nothing of substance to it, is there?
romance, classic, beautiful
I just like Sinatra. This type of music would probably be generally boring to me but he’s got a charm that completely carries it and makes it good
I love the vibe of the music, but I don't like the lyrics.
You can appreciate the performers’ skills and its place in history, but the songs just aren’t up to the same standard. They all sound the same and the lyrics are uninspired. The sound is evocative of an era, but there’s really no reason to listen to this.
I wish I could rate this 3.5, stars. I don't ever really listen to this type of music, but it is very pleasing to listen to and Sinatra has a great voice. You can easily tell he knows what he is doing. I just don't feel fulfilled listening to this type of music as I do with other music.
I’ve heard this before. It’s been a while. Frank Sinatra isn’t someone i really care about, i don’t love him and I don’t dislike him. I like him just fine I guess. He’s got a nice voice but definitely overrated, kinda like Elvis except very much an anti racist. So these are all fun classic songs that I’ve heard a lot of times, I enjoy listening to them but they don’t stick with me for long. I like this album just fine I guess.
A bit too old for my musical tastes, but I'll be damned if Sinatra's voice isn't legendary for a reason. 7/10.
Hard to knock it much at all, they're standards for a reason and his voice is iconic for a reason. The big band instrumentals could really be doing more, I guess
8/10
I don't really like this kind of music in general, so It's hard to rate this. I'll say for me it's 2 stars.
Classic but boring, sounds like one neverending song. 3/5
Classic.
Loved this
There’s not much I enjoy more than old timey lover boy music. It can get a little same-y but I had a smile on my face the whole time. And I know a number of these are American standards but he sure does make them sound good. Maybe I’m irreparably Elf-pilled and brainwashed. For what it’s worth, this is my lowest 5 yet. Season: True Summer Nights Favorite Song: You Make Me Feel So Young
This album is nice enough to listen to. Mr. Sinatra was a talented guy for sure. I can fully understand why he was so popular. Listening to it today though, this is music for really old people, swingin' hipsters, and wedding reception DJs. Not bad for 70 year old music.
A classy for Sunday
No conocia ninguna de las canciones, nunca preste atencion a sinatra. Me gusto.. tranqui y diferente. La segunda parte del album es mejor. Canciones para playlist: 4/15
Recognizing that this was hep, at the time, this does not appeal to me. The crooner style is too clear. It's not dirty enough. The bubblegum lyrics are quaint, sexist and sappy. The big band backing is good. But the vocals seem meant to be the focus, so the instrumentation does not outshine it. Too bad.
Ah old blue eyes. This is a great album, not his absolute best, which is clearly the nothing but the best 2008 remastered. Maybe its because I'm in love, but this is just charming. Some great songs, some fun melodies, it's just an easy listen. Not outstanding, but good.
Great voice but all the songs sound exactly the same.
Awesome, Sinatra is that singer always reminds for her voice, the lyrics in this albums are very romantic and simple to understand and music is just the music of Sinatra
perfectly enjoyable!
Can't hate on Franky boy. A joy to have on in the background but that's about it, certainly blends together after awhile
Frank Sinatra existed to soundtrack movies set in New York. I'm not really interested in listening to jazz crooners outside of that context.
I want to rank this a 5, I was not unhappy with it, but I also know I have to be in the right mood to really enjoy this. Every song sounds similar, which again, isn't necessarily bad, but it's enough to not give it a 5.
This is exactly what you imagine it is. Great orchestration and arrangement, classic songs from the songbook and that voice. Smooth, engaging and storytelling. This isn’t something I’d listen to but it’s great all the same
My dad was a professional musician his whole life and he rated both Frank and Nelson Riddle as the best singer and arranger in the business. I take on board some of the other reviewers criticism that many of these songs sound similar. But that's the nature of this record - it's a compilation/showcase of the best songwriters and songs of the era arranged in a swing style. The style is the same. The songs are not. Anyway, I agree with my dad regarding Sinatra. The phrasing and syncopation; and the diction all perfect. The songs are stories and you can understand every word. My dad is 92 now and wants me to take him to the new Frank Sinatra musical in the West End this summer. I'll be happy to.
lives up to the name
superhero songwriter
classy
muy repetitivo, vale la pena escucharlo por la voz del gordo frank
yes
During the mid and late ‘50s Frank Sinatra was banging out a couple of albums a year, most of them brilliant. Songs For Swingin’ Lovers! is one of the best. Sinatra’s fabulous voice and phrasing, and the richness of the material is a wonderful combination, but it’s hardly a solo effort. Nelson Riddle came up with some exceptional arrangements and older songs like “I've Got You Under My Skin” and “Pennies From Heaven” sound as fresh as daisies, and its credit to both him and Sinatra that these recordings sound like definitive versions. A couple of interesting things. This is the original cover, with Sinatra looking gormlessly away from the swingin’ lovers. It was replaced a year later with the more familiar sleeve, and Songs For Swingin’ Lovers! was the first UK’s no. 1 LP. 10/10
Good album
Good old timey vibes but also what my nan would listen to. Definitely prefer his hits.
His voice gets under my skin and not in the way his song means. Songs are killer though
Bastante lindo, romántico, hecho para bailar abrazado a tu amor definitivamente. Si supiera bailar, lo bailo con el amor de mi vida.
So many classics! Loved it!
Sinatra is good at what he does. My problem with this album is that it all sounds The Same. I kind of think that the sameiness was considered a feature at the time. It’s fine enough for background music, I’m just not huge into this style of music. Album 28, March 25, 2026
Yes!!!!
Not really a fan of the crooner style unfortunately, I wouldn’t mind having this to put on in the background on a chill morning or something though
