This first collection of Sinatra’s singles and B-sides with Nelson Riddle is also the best one. The album kicks off with the irrepressible ‘I’ve Got the World on a String’ and features such essential tracks as ‘South of the Border,’ ‘The Gal That Got Away,’ ‘Learnin’ the Blues,’ and the movie themes ‘Three Coins in a Fountain,’ ‘Young at Heart,’ and ‘The Tender Trap.’ ‘Rain’ and ‘Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me’ are dark ballads good enough to be on one of Sinatra’s ‘wrist-slasher’ LPs, and display a depth that many of his singles lack.
The shimmering romantic ballad ‘My One and Only Love’ is one of the few original Sinatra singles that instantly became a much-covered standard, though interestingly, the song isn’t usually connected to him. However, this wouldn’t be a Sinatra singles session if there weren’t at least a couple of losers on the set, and ‘Love and Marriage’ and ‘From Here to Eternity’ are two well-sung numbers that don’t deserve their continued popularity.“ (Nick Dedina)
