About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Originally, Frank Sinatra had planned to record Only the Lonely with Gordon Jenkins, who had arranged his previous all-ballads album, Where Are You. Jenkins was unavailable at the time of the sessions, which led Sinatra back to his original arranger at Capitol, Nelson Riddle. The result is arguably his greatest ballads album. Only the Lonely follows the same formula as his previous down albums, but the tone is considerably bleaker and more desperate. Riddle used a larger orchestra for the album than he had in the past, which lent the album a stately, nearly classical atmosphere. At its core, however, the album is a set of brooding saloon songs, highlighted by two of Sinatra's tour de forces -- "Angel Eyes" and "One for My Baby." Sinatra never forces emotion out of the lyric, he lets everything flow naturally, with grace. It's a heartbreaking record, the ideal late-night album. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

August 31, 2007: This is an incredible CD. All of the songs have great lyrics. Also, the arrangements are incredible. I think that this is about the best I've ever heard Frank's voice. That's because he's still young. It's also because the remastering was done so well. I don't think I've ever heard a voice so great as Frank's is on "Where or When." The way he hits those notes at the end is amazing.

December 30, 2003: If somehow I was forced to have just one album of any type of music, this would be it.
