Pro Reviews: Very Best Of Nat King Cole
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews This generous anthology, with 28 tracks and close to 80 minutes of music, is easily the best singledisc set on the market of Nat King Cole's pop side during his long association with Capitol Records. Spanning over 20 years, from 1943 to 1964, The Very Best of Nat King Cole includes most of his biggest hits for the label, like 1946's "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66," 1950s "Mona Lisa," 1951's "Walkin' My Baby Back Home" and "Unforgettable," and 1956's "When I Fall in Love" (with its wonderful orchestration arranged and conducted by Gordon Jenkins), although there are some intriguing omissions (1962's "Ramblin' Rose," for instance, isn't included here), but it's hard to quibble; after all, Cole charted over 100 pop singles during his career and nothing short of a massive box set could feature them all. What's most striking is how uniform everything is, as if it was all drawn from one long recording session, and Cole's rich, warm voice and perfect enunciation never falters. He was criticized for leaving his jazz roots for pop stardom, but it is worth noting how jazzbased and strippeddown most of these sides actually are, and even when orchestration is present, it is never intrusive or overwhelming, and the focus is always on Cole's steady, calm and measured vocals. It all adds up to a nearperfect introduction to Cole's Capitol years. - Steve Leggett, All Music Guide |

Pros: A couple of live songs
Cons: It is "The World of Nat King Cole" repackaged differently
Nat King Cole has always been and always will be one of the best jazz vocalists of all time. However, this new release would make even Cole himself angry if he were alive today. It is nothing but another Greatest Hits package. It has almost all of the same songs that were on the 2005 release, "The World of Nat King Cole". On top of that, this release does not have the hit song, "Orange Colored Sky", which was on the previous compilation, along with a few other songs. The record label tries to make up for the lack of those songs by adding a live track and a "Film Version" of another song, that was not on the previous CD. It would be beter to borrow the CD from someone and burn the added songs to the previous compilation and make a true Greatest Hits, instead of paying twenty dollars for each and still getting mostly the same songs on both discs. ...
