reception

The album received mixed reviews. "Inspired by his various comrades-in-arms, Michael Bublé, who always seems to be in a good mood, uses classics and hits across music history. The swing, jazz and Motown numbers he stand still best "it says in laut.de . There it is also pointed out that his interpretation of Who's Lovin 'You lacks soul. According to the reviewer Jasmin Lütz, Presley's Have I Told You Lately as well as his own song I Got It Easy and the final track Young at Heart “with plenty of strings and background fluff” are too kitschy.
