Includes eight standards, three of them (You Go To My Head, Lover Come Back To Me, and Ill Remember April) in extensive versions with all the instrumentalists taking solos), and five versions more in line with what was habitual at that time, with special interventions of Brownie in "No More", Harold Land in "Darn That Dream", and Herb Geller in "Crazy He Calls Me".

Review:
"Even though she's in the midst of the stellar soloists, Washington expertly works her supple voice throughout to remain the star attraction . . . A fine disc with top arrangements by Quincy Jones."
