Always the silky crooner, Damone had a way with a ballad, but usually sounded stiff and dry on up-tempo songs. On this early-’60s collection, he does his usual smooth job on ballads like “Laura” and “Poinciana” but, surprisingly, really shines on the up-tempo material, particularly “Change Partners” and the album’s best track--”Little Girl,” backed by Billy May’s orchestra.
