Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Me gusta pero siento que podría ser el soundtrack de un asesino en serie de los años 60s

Classic voice, Classic Album. 9.25/10 Top song You Make Me Feel So Young

Smoooth. Very listenable. 70 years later it holds up incredibly well.

Banger album. Do a lot of the songs sound the same? Yes, but that’s okay because I like the sound. You can’t go wrong with Frank Sinatra. His voice is so soothing. This album is for lovers, for sure.

Just some good sinatra

Not a mention of car keys in a bowl, pampas grass or pineapple purchasing in the supermarket, so I guess swinging didn’t have quite the connotations back then. These are classics, perfectly delivered, but while some think them timeless, I think they are just dated.

will swing ever make a comeback?

If you've heard one Sinatra song, you've heard them all. The man had vocal talent beyond words, but a great album this is not.

Crooner stuff is fun once in a while. A whole album of it puts me to sleep.

Love the sound and the strong Vocals Sinatra always has but just doesn’t do anything for me

Am I a bad person with a bad music taste if I admit that this bored me? Obviously Frankie’s a legend but this body of work did not do it for me

Que hermosa y reconocible es la voz de Sinatra, de la poca música tan vieja que se me hace muy facil escuchar. A veces siento tambien que sinatra es para el soul lo que eminem fue para el hip hop (no en una forma despectiva) al hacer que la gente racista que no escucha géneros liderados por afroamericanos los escuche mas libremente lol 9/10

This was fine, obviously very dated and not something I’d put on to enjoy, but one of the better background albums I’ve had. Very smooth and chill.

Not a whole lot of variation on the album, but it was consistently good. Such a great voice! Makes me want to dive into his other work beyond the hits

It took me back in time.

Very memorable.

For me it's alright. Not a sound I enjoy listening a whole album of. Possibly if listened to many times more and got to know the songs it would become better for me. Saying that, there are a few familiar songs on this album.

Nice album title, Frankie. And nice album too. I love just about every song on this album, it's such a nostalgic, comfortable, and romantic tone to the whole thing. Frank has a great voice as always, the band is on point, and it all comes together great.

I go back and forth between 3 and 4…. I think it hasn’t aged well and I don’t find myself wanting to listen again…. So 3.4… close to 4 but not quite

There’s a reason these are considered standards and classics and that is because they endure. Much better than I expected.

Every song sound the same, no exaggeration. Its the same beat and tune for 45 minutes

Golden oldies

If only a guy with a nice voice was enough for me to enjoy an album. Unfortunately, it’s not. Vocal jazz might be the most consistently uninteresting genre for me. It’s focuses way too much on vocals, and for a person like me who’s mostly interested in the instrumentation, it’s not fun at all. They always sound like the same song. Super repetitive and unimaginative. To be fair, this album is far from the worst example. The instruments here are actually quite decent by vocal jazz standards, but I still can’t say they’re good. Also, every songs here is love-related. There’s absolutely zero variety, which drags this album even further down. 5/10

Weird one to rate, obviously a good album but because Sinatra wasn’t an “album artist” all the songs kind of sound the same. Well made produced and great vocals though, would be a charming listen to have on in the background and to dance along to with a beautiful dame.

I'm not a fan of crooner music. He could sing well and technically the songs are fine but they just don't do it for me.

Lots of baggage/ antiquity when you’re appraising “The Chairman of the Board” (jazz-crooning will always exude a certain schmaltz), but Sinatra’s voice really is something to admire. The kind of legend that requires owning at least one album, I’d say, if you’re a connoisseur of American Pazz & Jop.

Classic. Maybe nice for a slow dance here and there.

I like this a lot. Love me some old time swing and Sinatra is great!

It’s frank but not leak. 6/10

Franks one of those that if you like one song you will like them all.

What can i say? it's Frank Sinatra. Have listened to some of his ep's in the past, either trough popular culture or just memes. Dude's the face of a very specific time period it seams. Album was good, very easy to listen to music, very beautiful orchestration. Highlight of the album: I've got you under my skin, mostly in part due to Cole Porter's beautiful composition.

Just pleasant to listen to, nothing super artistic or compelling about this specific record.

This is my first time listening to this album start-to-finish, though I recognize many of the song titles as standards. I'm just not a fan of Sinatra. Admittedly, he's better than I expected on this, and that might be because it's one of his earlier recordings.

Frank Sinatra and this album is magical - makes you believe in love again, a melodical, soothing and happy-go-lucky album!

Frank should indeed be heard before you die. Listening to this I get a pep in my step and just a little bit more enjoyment from the usually mundane.

Fun vibes a good time with frank

I like Sinatra's stuff from the '60's better, but this will do in a pinch. Sinatra as a person, and the way he got and stayed big, are not so great when looking at it from a modern lens. But, his voice is amazing, and his music is the epitome of post war American crooning.

I love it! It is my first time listening to an album by Frank Sinatra. My favorite song in the album is "I Thought About You".

Enjoyed this album. All crooner tunes are the best.

Belle découverte!

Great album! Very cozy, very classy, very wholesome romance that doesn't feel heteronormative or cheesy, I have no complaints! This is an album I'd have playing on a record for a quiet evening in. 5/5

Good

I have more than just this Sinatra album, but honestly, this one on its own might be enough. It plays through like a greatest hits album. Anytime I’m in the mood for Ol’ Blue Eyes, this album will never disappoint.

Top notch cool

I’ll never be mad at listening to Frank Sinatra, this was always going to be a fun one. I think when I first applied to uni I used a quote from Sinatra to begin my personal statement. God knows what it was, I think I just watched High Society one too many times. Anyway I think that there should be a Frank Sinatra record on here, whether it’s this one remains to be determined for me I think.

had a baller of a time with this. felt like i was in my 70s dancing in the kitchen then sipping tea on the porch. delightful

It made me want to walk around New York around Christmastime.

Early recording industry thrived on serving the most of the same, and here’s a whole lotta Frank.

Love a swing album.

There’s just something about when someone is clearly the greatest of all time at something.

Frank

Perfectly enjoyable crooning and Frank has lovely voice. However, a whole album is a bit too much for me.

this is fun and just used it as background music tbh

Obviously have heard of Sinatra. Never heard this album. Buttery smooth voice. Great songwriting on you make me feel so young. Good love song. Very 50s. Monterey is pretty good. Basically the same as the first song. Good orchestra in the background. I have a feeling that there won’t be much variety on this album. “Habit” is really fun and well written. Marvelous is pretty good too. The production and songwriting are top tier throughout. Just very dated. Old devil moon is pretty cool. Same with Pennie’s form heaven. Like I assumed, all song are pretty similar. Under my skin is fun. Catchy chorus. Super well written. All the songs are starting to blend together. Not the worst thing because it’s not a bad style of music. Wish anything goes was the last song. This one is really good. How about you is fine just doesn’t hit as hard. Overall pretty good album but nothing special. Not enough variety. Great singer/somgwriter tho. Solid 2.6 album.

"I think I'm a jazz girl" -me to the hubs while listening to this album

Can’t help loving some Frank Sinatra

Ho god this sounds so fucking old and dated. Gets boring after 2 songs. I can barelly ear any difference in each of these songs. I never wanna hear any other of his alb.. shit he got 3 albums in this book. Why am I doing this.

He croons and he croons. This album is insanely incredibly one note because every song follows the same vocal structure for him, but also like bro it's frank sinatra he's the goat and it was extremely enjoyable. I was doing laundry while I was listening and it felt like I was in fallout a little bit which was fun.

I'd never heard the original version of Anything Goes from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

This was awful and I was miserable listening to it.

I didn't spend my 20s off my tits at every festival in the country, forgetting my name in psycare, getting piledrived in a hundred mosh pits, cradling box wine in a field in wiltshire, texting damon albarn that I love him, learning how to DJ, realising I'm shit at DJing, losing my clothes to a dance battle, losing my shoes in a mud pit, losing my tent in a storm, losing my mind every August, throwing shapes at chemical brothers, underworld, orbital, groove armada, the prodigy, utah saints, the orb and I think basement jaxx at some point just to end up liking frank fucking sinatra. No thank u, not now not yet.

I'm sure the reviews for this album will be filled with people complaining that these aren't the original performances, or that there are better renditions of most of these songs. I agree on both points, but the fact remains that these are the performances that many people know best, even to this day.

All pretty similar sounding but not bad. I feel like I should be listening on a radio instead of in wireless headphones. 3/5

It's a fun/easy listen and it's exactly what I expect Frank Sinatra to sound like. Interesting that it's considered one of his top two albums and it's entirely covers ("pop standards"). That was a different era, where doing your own take on a popular tune was a standard thing to do. The album reminds me of the English Patient soundtrack, which has a style/vibe that I like.

When we listened to Sinatra's Bossa Nova infused album a while back, I was all "why aren't we listening to something that feels more quintessentially Sinatra?" But, now that we've got that, I miss the unexpectedness of the other album. This is all very good, just very expected.

Familiarity bred contempt with this album. Because certain songs are so overplayed in commercials and TV shows and movies, it was just super hard to hear with fresh ears and appreciate as if they weren't cheesy bids to manipulate my emotions (You Make Me Feel So Young, Makin' Whoopee, I've Got Youn Under My Skin.) His voice is amazing but it was hard to shed the impression of *cheese* with listening to this - so scoring lower than the other entry we've had, which felt sadder and jazzier and just less cringe.

3 out of 5. Another album that would be good to cook to.

8/10

Now, it would seem, a true legend! Who hasn't heard of Frank Sinatra? Everyone's mind immediately conjures up images of him in his signature trilby hat at the mention of his name. However, even here, things aren't so simple. Yes, this is a pleasant collection of upbeat love songs written by other songwriters and by then almost classics, performed by Sinatra's velvety voice, unmistakable. Arranger Nelson Riddle also did a superb job with the instrumental section. But just remember, if you've heard one song on this album, you've heard them all; even AC/DC would be outdone in terms of monotony. However, there's nothing wrong with that, and the record is perfect as a leisurely backdrop for dinner. Then you can smoothly go from dinner to dancing, if you have someone to join you.

Classic Sinatra. Consistent all the way through, man's got a vibe. Was a very enjoyable car ride listening to it!

The greatest interpreter of the Great American Songbook, swinging his graceful way through a splendid collection of Nelson Riddle arrangements, eyes twinkling as he spreads the joy

3,7/5

The perfect soundtrack to get fired to.

I dunno, it’s fine I guess? If I was at a party or a wedding and someone put this on, I wouldn’t object.

Classic

ФРАНК СІНАТРА БОЖЕСТВЕНА Я ВЖЕ ЙОГО СЛУХАЛА НУ я все одно поставлю 4 ахахаха дуже романтична каніщна коли немає стосунків саме то

It's not bad, it's just a bit boring.

I get that this was popular - that easy swing, big band style - but it's not really my cup of tea. There's some nice songwriting behind it, but Sinatra's treatment of the material is so samey and unchallenging that the tracks just bleed into one another. You really have to love that sound, or it kind of becomes relentless. /Might/ have worked better for me in its own context in the 50s.

After knowing what Sinatra could do on In the Wee Smalls Hours, these happy go lucky kind of albums just don't do it for me.

Me gusta mucho Frank Sinatra, pero este álbum por muy conocido que sea nunca me convenció lo suficiente. Aún así se merece sus buenas estrellas.

Sehr entspannt, höre ich mir gerne Mal wieder an, vielleicht am Weihnachten?

It's a bit repetitive, all songs sound kinda the same, but the quality of the musicians is tope de gama, and of course the voice on this fucker is amazing

parece la banda sonora de blancanieves, menuda sensación calentita te deja aunque los lyrics son un tanto extraños (no sabía que frank sinatra cantaba sobre cocaína)

Its frank, its good music. Its a shame that all the intrumentals are basicly the same. But its still amazing.

I can't describe why, but Sinatra scratches an itch in my brain no other artist can. It's just plain good

It's just classic, isn't it? This list is full new, challenging and innovative music. But sometimes it's just nice to hear some classic vocal performances. My only criticism is that there's not much variety here but for what it is, it's great.

Frank sounds bored and insincere. Shame because these are great songs from stage and screen.

3.6

Classic Sinatra.

definitivamente steve rogers escucharía este album, entiendo el concepto clásico pero todas las canciones suenan igual

He may have been a bastard but he put together one hell of an album.

Solid gold big band jazz Enjoyable the whole way through but the songs can get repetitive

Very smooth and jazzy, but just a bit too old fashioned for my tastes. Still worth experiencing.

This is well-crafted classy music, but with all due respect to Mr. Sinatra, if I could be Frank, I just don’t really care about this at all.

однообразный, но славный!

Boop boop, swingamading. Þetta var kósý. Komst bara í semi jólaskap. Mis góð lögin auðvitað. Frankie var flottur söngvari.

Ósköp fín og þægileg kokteiltónlist við vinnuna.

Smooth and Swingin. Can't beat Frank Sinatra for this stuff. Interesting contrast to his album of nightime songs, even with the warm album cover versus the cool blue. Highlights: Anything Goes, I've Got You Under My Skin From Musicboard (OG 1/13/26 [#17] Imported 2/26/26)

I'd say this is the most classic Sinatra. Clear, confident, swinging.

Absolutely legendary, but I can't imagine ever voluntarily listening to Sinatra.

One of my grandparents favourite musician and one of the greatest ever. Amazing!

Sinatra put all of his hits and covers of hits on one album, and it's great.

Classic for a reason!

me encanto, te transporta a una película sin dudas

hehehe that's my jam Someone knows me well :) Listening to this album makes me feel like I'm 70, slow dancing with my lover in the warm kitchen of our home, waiting for the roast to cook, and both still so in love after 40 years of marriage. And here I am, face to face with my very 21st-century computer, completing reports for clients I'll have forgotten about in 3 months.

Noemie music!!

it was ok, not my thing really

Not exactly my cup of tea, but Frank’s voice is undeniably beautiful and a pleasure to listen to. The instrumentation is spot on as well. Even though mellow sounds aren’t usually my favorite, I have to admit the songs transported me to a place filled with love and hope. A strong and emotionally resonant record.

Siento que todas las canciones son iguales o que estuve escuchando la misma en loop por 44 minutos. Suena bien pero me aburrió.

There are some classic Frank songs that are fantastic. It is big band swing and the man can sing, but a little too laid back for me the majority of the album. Still a great album, great for a romantic dinner date or such

The first time I tried to listen to the records in this book, it was 2016 (wtfff 10 years ago...) and I was going in chronological order. In the Wee Small Hours really hit, but when I got to this I think I quit there because it felt so stupid to have a repeat artist so soon. Imagine if I called it quits every time that happened.

Maravilloso!

Otroligt trevlig bakgrundsmusik. Härlig Sinatra-jazz. Underbart. Pennies from Heaven!

One of the best Frank Sinatra albums made in collaboration and with arrangements by Nelson Riddle. Pitchfork: n/a Rolling Stone: n/a Best Songs You Make Me Feel So Young Old Devil Moon Love Is Here To Stay I've Got You Under My Skin Makin' Whoopee

All songs seemed a little too similar for me. I wonder if in the context the album was released it was a fresh sound.

Lovely vibes!

Really enjoyed this album. Effortless singing from Sinatra and talented musicians produced this top-notch album.

Great album. Favorite songs: You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me, Old Devil Moon, Pennies From Heaven

Classic but pretty samey and a bit soppy for my current frame of mind..!

Unless it's December, and he's singing Christmas Carols... He better only be singing Fly Me To The Moon or My Way.

A great album full of fun and smooth crooning.

7.5/10

Honestly, I was born in the wrong generation. Swing is so much my kinda music and nobody does jazz vocals better than Old Blue Eyes himself. Earnest lyrics with some of the biggest hits in the genre. It's undeniable this record belongs in this project.

Nothing more than music to put on the background while cooking a nice pasta dinner for a woman. Will keep for future reference, but not something I would add to my collection.

At start was cool but too repetitive for my taste. Live the first song tho and Live Is Here To Stay

I like Frank Sinatra

It's a swingin' good time! I'll always be a huge Sinatra fan, and this has so many classic tunes one after another. Hard to imagine a world where I don't give this a 5, so I'll go ahead and do it.

Very sweet album. Absolutely loved it!

Great voice. Songs about love or affairs or something. 3.0/5.0

don't get me wrong to nie jest tak, że muzyk Franka Sinatry mi się nie podoba, bo byłaby to ściema ale ja z jego muzyką mam trochę tak, że może dlatego, że jest taka popularna – a może właśnie dlatego jest taka popularna – jest to dla mnie tak domyślna muzyka, że mnie to nie rusza. No fajnie leci, ładne, dobrze skomponowane, on też jest piękny w tym wszystkim, no ale jest to takie default music, że nie mogę. Znaczy mogę, ale mnie to zupełnie nie porywa.

1 or 2 songs in the background while pottering around the kitchen are quite nice but a whole album in one go is a bit much… 1.5 for me.

ehh

invented music

and churchill has declared victory over europe

Gute Hintergrundmusik wenn man einen Hut trägt und Martini trinkt

You get what you asked for, wenn man sinatra hört. ich persönlich mag einzelne alben immer mal ganz gerne

Classic Sinatra

not bad, fun

There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. Ole blue eyes knew what he was doing.

Today is my wife's 30th birthday, so getting to start my day by listening through a collection of exuberant love songs was definitely a treat! This album was great background noise for making my breakfast and thinking about how lucky I am to be married to such a beautiful and kind soul. Separating the actual music from that experience, I'd say my thoughts on Songs for Swingin' Lovers! are pretty similar to that of In the Wee Small Hours – the album is better served as mood music than something to deeply perceive and analyze. It's good, but I'd be hesitant to call it high art. Slight tangent, but I've never liked this album's artwork. Why does Frankie have to be up in the clouds (à la Mufasa) watching over these young lovers? Do they consent to Ol' Blue Eyes peeping on their intimate dancing or are they blissfully unaware of his presence? Does God also wear a fedora? These are questions the people deserve answers to. Highlights: You Make Me Feel So Young, You're Getting to Be a Habit with Me, Old Devil Moon, Love Is Here to Stay, I've Got You Under My Skin, Makin' Whoopee, How About You?

It is May 1956 and you are Frank Sinatra. Your arm curls around your new girlfriend (was it ‘Dottie’?) as you both gaze out the window of the Pan Am Clipper taxiing for the morning flight to New York. You are Frank Sinatra and you are on top of the world. The new album is in the can and it’s the perfect soundtrack to your life. Miami was a whirl of sun, beach, ocean swims and at least three other girls you cheated on Dottie with. You gaze into her happy brown eyes and she gazes back and neither of you care that your dick has its own fan club. That’s just how it goes when you ride with Ol’ Blue Eyes. Enjoy it while you can, babe, before you’re just another tale of conquest shared with the Pack. The perks are more than worth it. You are Frank Sinatra, and as the plane angles for takeoff the sunlight crosses your eyes and makes them gleam like diamonds. You think, come fly with me.

70

Well orchestrated, well sung But the music hasn't aged that well, and it sounds very monotonous. Sinatra sings really well, but never shows any vulnerability which I assume is reflective of the times. Perhaps in it's in era this album was sexy and fresh, not so much anymore I'm sure there are subtleties that I would be more in tune with if I grew up when this music was popular I'm giving it a 3, because most of the things I don't like about the record are because it was recorded in a radically different era, and I don't want to give it a low rating based only on the sensibilities of a 30 years old, 70 years later. Worth noting too that this was released before albums as a whole really mattered, and albums by popular artists usually contained a hit or 2 and a whole lot of filler. Few full albums from this era would hold up now. I'm also keeping into account that the songs are well made, and that Sinatra is a terrific singer

Good album, American song book stuff, very listenable.

Sinatra + Nelson Riddle = magic.

5

This genre has been permanently linked to Christmas in my mind, despite none of the songs having any subject matter related to Christmas. Since Sinatra doesn't sing about Santa Claus, it's become a bit better.

Feels very vanilla, which makes sense because of it's age but I like it nonetheless.

nice to listen to, vocal tone is amazing, would I go back and listen again, nope, not for me - but I see why people would like it 3

Buen rollito... no suelo escuchar este tipo de música, relax, calma, agradable...

The best songs to break things.

What's not to like? Incredible songs, magnificent arrangements, great production, and The Voice. Five stars, without any doubt.

Okay Frank

its charming.

I’ve heard of Frank Sinatra. Favorites: I’ve Got You Under My Skin, We’ll Be Together Again Thoughts: This guy is so good at singing he makes me want to sing. However, as someone who likes instrumentals these songs kinda meld together with the bass, piano, trumpets + reminds me of Christmas music.

Sinatra!

Can't really go wrong with Sinatra, I think

Smooth as butter. This is one of those albums that feels so effortless for the band & Frank Sinatra. Brilliant musicianship and vocals, which I imagine would have blown minds in the 50s. The flow feels quite one note, but that's not that bad of a thing when the listening is so pleasant and enjoyable.

Love!

Let's drink wine and dance on the kitchen, please?

Sinatra is cool and all but I can’t help but think that if you’ve heard one Sinatra song you’ve heard them all

Love big band music. Nothing new here but pleasant. Stupid album title

This music isn’t aging well but I can’t deny its impact on music and society.

All good stuff.

Overall very upbeat album, which suits old blue eyes well. Favorite track: You Make Me Feel So Young

This is further from my wheelhouse than other albums so far. Musically, the early 50’s are so different from the late 60’s, only 15 years later. No guitar or bass, only horns and strings. It was pleasant to listen to, and Sinatra has a great voice. I know his most famous tunes, and this album only has one song I was familiar with.

I just can’t find access to peoples love of Sinatra. Maybe down the road… how I now appreciate neil diamond

This was a nice trip to a far away land and time where singing about "Makin' Whoopee" must have been quite scandalous. And that's not even considering the album title itself!

idk buns

I think Sinatra has one of the smoothest voices of all time. His ability to delay the rhythm of the melody without losing time or tempo is really impressive and is what makes every song feel so laid back. At this point in time, you don't go listening to Frank Sinatra because you want to be wowed by something you've never heard before. You know exactly what you're getting with you listen to or spin a Sinatra album, and you'll almost certainly enjoy it. He's one of the best to ever do it, and all of his albums are so incredibly consistent. This one might be one of his best, though. Favorite Song(s): You Make Me Feel So Young, I've Got You Under My Skin, We'll Be Together Again

You can’t go wrong with Frank. Probably my favorite of his studio albums

Nevermind and Screamadelica are as old now as this was when they were released. Do those albums sound as old as Sinatra seemed in 1991??? This is as you'd expect, every song is the same, like the background to a mob restaurant in Goodfellas. Or like the music that plays when Pepe Le Pew is romancing a cat who has walked under some dripping paint again. It rolls along pleasantly.

You can hear this album any time, day or night, at your local Olive Garden.

Big band sound not to my taste. Great delivery on the vocal, but it becomes a bit samey after a few songs. I knew about half of the songs before listening so they are very familiar. Just not something I would go back and listen to again.

I get why it’s important and on the list, but I just wanted to turn it off. Snoozefest. It’s period-setting backing for a TV show rather than something to dedicate time listening to.

Who can resist the ultimate crooner singing these timeless songs? Two big thumbs up.

ну вайб

Bit boring to me.

Great album, and fantastic voice. Timeless

Hard not to love a crooner album from Frank Sinatra.

Starts off with You Make Me Feel So Young; great start. Very relaxing.

18/20 Que dire L'album est excellent Il s'écoute en boucle avec grand plaisir tellement l'accompagnement musical est riche Une très belle découverte

Classy, suave and charming. Hard to give it less than 4.

You cant really hate anything here. A great album to stick some wallpaper up too. Classic bangers - you make me feel so young, pennies from heaven, under my skin, anything goes

3.5 really as I think Frank's a greatest hits man.

YyyYessss Please. Finger clickin' goodness Found myself strutting round my 'ouse... In a good way! Some sort of Extravagant fucking Quiche.

Can’t go wrong with Frank, man of many hits that you can put on and enjoy anytime

Spittin’ straight fire for 40+ minutes. Go off Frank 😤

love sinatra but this one doesn’t have a lot of depth

Absolute perfection. Not a bad song on this LP. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. I could listen to this every single day of my life and never tire of the feelings this album invokes. Bravo !

It's Frank Sinatra, classic music just can't really go wrong

Cozy, smooth play, it takes my spirit to new york on a winter day, inside some local bar, full with warm ppl, good drinks and cigarettes, lovely album.

Sinatra wie er war. Sehr schön

Solid vocal jazz delivered by the smooth voice of the iconic Frank Sinatra. And while I do think that performances from this late '50s vocal jazz scene tend to blend in with one another, Sinatra's remains instantly recognizable to me. It's a voice that paints a vivid image of its time - one of a nostalgic setting, where middle-class Americans are drinking their wine in a glossy hall as the full moon hangs above downtown New York. Nostalgic to me, specifically, seeing as I was obsessed with old Disney movies growing up. But anyway, the album creates a pleasant atmosphere to bathe in for 40 or so minutes, despite its lack of variety. It's not something I can really hold against this record, though, I've come to expect that from Sinatra in all honesty. It's just not a record that rewards in-depth listening, but rather one you throw on to add a rich flavor to some other activity. A few moments here did demand my attention, though, especially the Big Band breakdown on 'I've Got You Under My Skin,' or the string section on 'We'll Be Together Again.' Still undeniably well executed, and Frank proves himself to be one of the most well-rounded vocalists in this genre. Favorite song here was 'You Make Me Feel So Young.'

Leuk om eens een album van Frank Sinatra te luisteren. Dit is er eentje die op de plank kan staan en je zou draaien op date night. Ik ken te weinig Sinatra / jazz om er over te kunnen zeggen of het nou heel bijzonder is. Solide 3, gewoon lekker

I really like this album because I like this genre of music. it gives me positive emotions, and I would listen to this album again.

The epitome of cozy music. Sinatra may be one of (if not the) most charming singers to ever grace a record and though this album is not as exciting as later productions, there is not a single song in sight that I would skip. Best Songs are You Make Me Feel So Young and the heavily underappreciated Old Devil Moon. 8/10, play this whenever the silence is too loud.

I love the way this whole album makes me feel.

It all kind of sounds the same but it's fun. He had some pipes.

Viva las Vegas! This feels like the soundtrack for a generation. A lot of fun classics that are easy to listen to. I understand why so many love Frank.

Sinatra might be the greatest male vocalist of all time. Absolute classic, the songs are massive, and his voice transports you into a new world. They don’t make them like this anymore

I think if Frank Sinatra sang anything it would sound magical and fantastic. Him, 5 stars. This is probably another 3.

sinatra is always a joy. felt like Christmas with some of the songs. about halfway through I started listening to another one of his albums, then rounded finished this album out

Pretty swingin'!

l love this album, but cannot listen constantly

Good

All the songs sound the same. But they do sound good.

Feb 2, 2026 - We really need new crooners and big band music again.

We don't say things like "Makin' Whoopee" anymore

💃💃🕺 Swing 5/10

A fantastic album. I've got several Sinatra albums in my collection, but not this one. I'm familiar with almost all of the tracks, and several of them appear on other Sinatra albums I do own. It's an album you could listen to on repeat and not realise you're on the 4th our 5th rotation.

Good

I found it very dissonant. Almost like he was either too slow or too fast for the band supporting him. The lyrics sounded shoehorned to me. The strongest sentiment it stirred in me was humour when I heard Makin' Whoopee...

Like pulling on an old jumper cost and I know all the words

Again maybe due to exposure to these songs in class, but really enjoyed this album. Except maybe "making whoopee"

Iconic voice and nice/pleasant songs to listen to. Got to listen to more Sinatra.

Very different from my usual taste but very refreshing. Songs have very meaningful lyrics and the composition is fantastic. Great album 3.4/5

YUP

Sinatra's answer to this new-fangled "rock 'n' roll" thing! Not my bag, Baby.

очень однотипный альбом , такое ощущение, что слушаешь одну песню. лучшая песня "too marvelous for words". альбом 5/10

Good stuff, a little too love songy for the mood I was in

Perfectly pleasant album. A lot of these seem like popular choices from movies I've watched.

Listening to his inflection is quite illuminating- I picture Frankie acting like he’s a god and to be honest girls across America were brainwashed to thinking he was and so it goes. The one long song is good white noise but Frankie can’t make women who know better swoon . . .

This is a really great album. Frank has a lot of really great albums. Music is magic. Back in the days of paper maps me and a buddy would go find undeveloped hot springs in northern Nevada. I drove, he navigated. Lots of road trippin' listening to Van Morrison, Tom Waits and Frank. If you're ever around Austin, NV and you're so inclined, take an evening to visit Spencer hot springs, crack open a Sam Adams Summer Ale, light up a cigar and listen to Frank's Summer Wind for me. Like I said, music is magic and this album swings.

Sinatra me evoca muchos recuerdos con Cristian asi que es dificil no verlo con buenos ojos (o escucharlo con buenos oidos ;9) Creo que hay otros albumes que puedo disfrutar menos, pero este ha sido muy relajante para empezar el dia.

I really enjoyed it. It's just so pleasant to listen to. Anything Goes is a banger.

solid and exactly what'd you expect

Probably an unpopular opinion, but it was - at best - anodyne...

And they say today's music is racy! Haha! Classic

Absolutely amazing. Smooth vocals, great instrumentals, exceptional storytelling. My only take away is lack of difference in songs. Sort of sounded similar instrumentaly but it was very pleasant to listen to despite this. Doesn't reflect it's age in a bad way at all. My appreciation in heightened as a instrument player my self and lover of older songs. Beautifully curated, a challenge made to seem easy. Reflects a confident, loving aura. 4/5. Would recommend to anyone.

i like it just for background

There’s no denying the greatness of Frank. A voice you could pick out anywhere. Not my particular favorite, but still good.

Lo mejor que hizo Frank fue volver el jazz mas digerible para todos, todo un rey

What a crooner. I’m going to go eat a big pasta dinner now.

I've being incredibly harsh on albums where the songs sound way too much the same. But this is one of the exceptions. This record might not be fantastic but at least is charming. Frank Sinatra's voice is very soothing with sometimes hitting some high notes to add a bit of emotion. However, in general terms, he can get a bit monotone and feeling like he is singing the same exact melody every time. In addition, the fact that most of the songs are about love doesn't help. Fortunately, the band playing behind is very entertaining and gives the music a lot more life and energy thanks to the solos, pauses and little variations on the instruments playing. And that is really all I can say, as there is not much going than Frank Sinatra and the band playing some old fashion vocal jazz tunes.

love sinatra

Old Blue Eyes sure could sing! And the jazzy arrangements by Nelson Riddle complement him perfectly. I added “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” to the playlist.

There’s some great classics in here! It’s a bit samey-same but really well done.

I acknowledhe frank sinatra's voice, and I would listen to it again if I'm searching for a vibe. But I didn't get away with it with no song in specific

They all kinda sounded the same but I like it

Classic

I can recognize the talent; he does have a great singing voice. But, this is not for me.

I would probably never "choose" to listen to Sinatra, but I have always enjoyed the music. 7/10

i wasn't able to go through the lyrics but i enjoyed it dahil sa melody bdhshs

Eh…

not my cuppa

5 stars - Frank has one of the best voices I have ever heard. He ranks in my personal Top 5 for greatest voices I have heard. I could happily listen to him every day.

Classic. All timer

Semmoset lemmenlaivat sieltä. Kyllähän tämmöstä menoa kuuntelee taustalla, mutta ei tätä nyt sen analyyttisemmin voi lähteä arvioimaan. "aikansa kuva" ja kolmoseen

Onhan Frankillä aika kermanen saundi ja syystä aika legis jätkä. Tästähän tuli kiva mieli, läiskätään nelsellä!

Onhan sillä Frankilla hunajainen ääni, vähemmästäkin housut märkänä. Pitää ens kerralla kokeilla laittaa autossa soimaan kun on daami kyydissä. Aika samanlaisiahan nämä kaikki biisit toki on, että ei tätä repeatilla jaksa kuunnella, mutta annetaan nyt kuitenkin nelonen, kun toimii omassa tehtävässään erittäin hyvin.

Ohan tää komeeta laulantaa ja teatraalista menoa. Kauheesti ei jää veisuista kätöseen eli handuun. Perusvarma eikä ärsytä.

No joo. Kyllähän swingiä aina silloin tällöin mielellään kuuntele. Mafiamies Sinatra tietysti alan kovimpia nimiä. Tällä levyllä ei ollut yhtään itselleni entuudestaan tuttua biisiä, eikä kyllä mielestäni olla lähelläkään Sinatran parhaita ralleja. Ihan leppoisaa ja kivaa kuunneltavaa kuitenkin. Vaikka kolme tähteä.

I'll give this 8/10. Great to work to, some classics on here that will be familiar to everyone. I'll be buying this album on vinyl as it's a great album to have on in the background when people are around. Can't give it higher even though I loved it as it wouldn't be in my general rotation of music that I listen to, but I still rate the album very highly.

Same song for the entire album. Its fine

classic. OG. swooner. always great.

5/15, 33%

It’s a classic but it’s not for me

Great vibes from this album and its just something nice to listen to and enjoy. Sinatra's voice is also very warm enhancing that mellow vibe. 6/10, Favorite song: You brought a new kind of love to me

2 and a half.

Enjoyed the swagger of Frankie boy

What the fucking is making whoopy? This guy was friends with gangsters and he can't even say fuck

It's difficult to not be in a good mood with Sinatra playing through the house. Fun fact: he wrote the song Makin' Whoopee about his year as an intern at the whoopee cushion factory

Classic

Hits are good, but it kinda drags at points

Song For Swingin’ Lovers says a lot - dated. Makin’ Whoopee says it all! Frank had some staying’ power, as familiar with this one (which is the best song on the album) and also Pennies From Heaven even though they’re from 70 years ago. (1.9*s) Just doesn’t hold up.

Sinatra may have been the man in the 50s but the sound is just too dated these days. Songs for Swingers is better than the other entries from Frank on the list but I'm still bored. "Anything Goes" was recognizable and a decent track I guess. "Makin' Whoopee" shows just how old and lame this album truly is. Nowadays it would be SZA or Frank Ocean singing "Gettin' Pussy" and would just be new and lame. Hoping we are done with Ol' Blue eyes. 1.19 stars for this record.

This is definitely closer to the Frank Sinatra music that I'm more familiar with and appreciate. I prefer Sinatra with some big band accompaniment belting out a jaunty tune far more than a slowed down romance ballad. I recognized a couple of these from Swingin' Lovers and had about as much fun as I expected which only lasts so long. A couple songs every now and then are a fun reminder of what music used to be. Some of the hits hold up OK but its still something I'd quickly move on from otherwise. Sinatra is a legend and maintains his reputation even if its not close to my heart in any way. 1.99 stars

These days it sounds like an old movie sound track but I imagine in 56 these was top notch stuff with swing, jazz and a great band Watch out Frank, Elvis is coming and its all about to change

Sinatra at his best, timeless.

l'album se fait un peu long à force et un peu trop répétitif

Il est bon le sinatra

Bon y'a pas beaucoup de changement mais c'est super chill détente bonne ambiance. Je mettrai ça quand Alex viendra et on fera comme la cover ^^

Damn Dimebag owes a lot to Eddie.

Despite my general aversion to crooning I kind of enjoyed this. These songs really are quite pleasant to listen to. Not challenging at all and not something I’d listen to often, but I might throw it on again if I was having a bad day.

Love is here to stay 🔥 Making Whoopie 👎🏽

It's a'ight

I’ve listened to this and I love it. Makin’ Whoopee is on this album! Easy 4 stars

This is the music that defined an era, and it still sounds great today. Although some of the references are no longer relevant and some of the language seems strange to the modern listener, it's still excellently crafted music that speaks to universal emotions. Truly Frank Sinatra has stood the test of time thus far, and generations of listeners to come will enjoy his music. Favorite track: "You Make Me Feel So Young" starts the album off on the right foot, "I've Got You Under My Skin" is pretty good as well.

Just absolute PERFECTION

I don’t care if he is the Big Poppa, can he croon?

Old blue eyes is always a good listen.

01) You Make Me Feel So Young - 7,0 02) It Happened in Monterey - 7,0 03) You're Getting to Be a Habit with Me - 6,5 04) You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me - 7,0 05) Too Marvelous for Words - 6,5 06) Old Devil Moon - 7,5 07) Pennies from Heaven - 7,0 08) Love Is Here to Stay - 6,5 09) I've Got You Under My Skin - 10,0 10) I Thought About You - 6,5 11) We'll Be Together Again - 6,5 12) Makin' Whoopee - 7,0 13) Swingin' Down the Lane - 7,0 14) Anything Goes - 7,0 15) How About You? - 7,0 TOTAL: 7,07 (71/100) Current ranking: 443/798

Would’ve gone down smoother with an old fashioned

love, whiskey, sex, cigarettes, kissing

Killer arrangements. Frank great as always.

I'm tempted to rate this higher - it's all very good, Sinatra's singing is buttery smooth, it's thoroughly pleasant to listen to - but it's basically 15 of the same song over and over

each track is only 3 minutes long but unless you are listening specifically to the fantastic horns section you are not gonna be able to tell when one ends and another begins it's fine. it's good even! the band is great, the voice is great. I'd probably even rate it higher individually but as an album it just bleeds together and is less than the sum of its parts

His voice is nice but got kinda bored if the song really didn't go for it

Ok, its a classic! Great for reading a book or cleaning

just a classic background album

There is a smugness to Sinatra that I can't get over. It's incredibly easy listening but it's also cheesy and slimy in a way that I don't like at all.

Very pleasant and easy listening soft swing album. After first few songs it blends into the ether and becomes literal background noise, you only realise it's stopped when you suddenly hear the silence.

A lot of 50s stuff we've had so far is kinda lo-fi and feels dated in a certain unadventurous kinda way, the arrangements here are so gorgeous and colourful and playful though, I really rate Frank's work here too! Have to give it a 4

I get that he has a nice voice. I get that this is groovy and relaxing. I get that for its time this was PEAK. But the world evolved, WE evolved, MUSIC evolved, so I don’t have to pretend I adore this just because it was incredible when it was released. It's not BAD per se, but I wouldn't listen to any song on here again, let alone the whole album. I can’t even imagine living in a time with such limited music options. Like, you’re telling me that on top of having NO Wi-Fi, NO shawarma, NO rights, NO FUCKING ANYTHING, because only straight white men deserved the good stuff, THIS is all I could’ve listened to? No thank you.

Vanilla but just cool enough to not be boring.

It's sinatra. It's fine

A crooning masterclass from Sinatra, with very tasteful arrangements. Clearly really great stuff, but maybe decades of pastiche by others means that it just doesn't grab me as much as it might.

alright, js more frank sinatra stuff

I think this album is not badly produced and the vibe is indeed 'swingy'. For me personally it's a little to monotonous and bland, though.
