Pro Reviews: Only You
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Featuring ballads from the '50s and '60s, Only You finds vocalist/pianist Harry Connick, Jr. further developing his contemporary crooner aesthetic. Having begun his career covering popular songs from the '20s through the '40s, it's surprising that Connick never before explored tunes from the "Baby Boomer"era. In some ways, it's almost as if he skipped the period all together moving from the '40s to the '70s between 1992's 25; his last jazz standards album, and 1994's She; his move to funk and pop. It was a jarring creative leap that many fans found too far to make with him. It's pleasing then, that Connick has found ways to incorporate his love of the Great American Songbook and straightahead jazz in a style that's harkens back to jazz' goldenera without being retro. Only You showcases this, soaring on Connick's sophisticated and classy arrangements of such popular tunes as "I Only Have Eyes For You", "Save the Last Dance For Me" and "More". From his cinematic bossa nova take of "My Blue Heaven" replete with pizzicato string backgrounds to his inspirational gospelinflected version of "For Once In My Life", Connick's vision for these classic songs is singular and fresh. - Matt Collar, All Music Guide |

Pros: Outstanding vocals
Cons: Predominantly low tempo
This is a ballad album almost entirely, but the vocals are so emotionally felt. So, it's very hard to not be drawn in no matter ones mood. He adds his own unique touch to these songs, while upholding the integrity of the original compositions.
