When this album came out, Billboard appropriately rated it a spotlight winner: it went on to spend nine weeks as number one on the stereo album charts. Each song here, except for the headline song, Nice n Easy, is sung in a ballad tempo, with Sinatra backed by the romantic sound that was Nelson Riddles trademark. The title song was a last-minute substitute for the originally planned The Nearness of You, which did not appear on the original LP.
