Editorial Reviews (supplied by Amazon.com):
1) Amazon.com
A great, comprehensive collection of Sinatra's most popular Reprise tracks, and worth having for any number of reasons, Very Best Of features tons of familiar hits--but requires a caveat for casual Sinatra fans. When Sinatra formed Reprise, he began to re-record many of the sides he'd released on Capitol, in an attempt to transfer his catalog to the new label. It was a smooth move, but his re-recorded versions seldom replaced the originals in the way he'd hoped. And many of the familiar songs here are Capitol remakes. It'd be a task to compare the track listing here with that of the Capitol Years set, but if you want to get serious about your Sinatra, that's the way to go. If you're just a music fan, this is a gem. --Gavin McNett

1) The Very Best of Frank Sinatra [Rating: 5 out of 5]
What more can be said? It's the very best of one of the best entertainers of the 20th Century. It doesn't get any better than that.2) I can't believe that I have just become a fan... [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I recently fell in love with "Fly Me To The Moon", then realized that there a number of Sinatra tunes that I have thoroughly enjoyed on an individual basis since the 70's. At some point I began to tabulate the Sinatra songs that I love, then bought this collection as a birthday present to myself, as I am a devote R&B, Jazz, Classical and Gospel music lover. Now, I listen to this collection and it ranks with all of my favorites. Great poetic lyrics, orchestration and smooth.3) Great Memories [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Simply a great CD which makes the memories of yesteryear come flooding back to one's childhood.4) from fine old kegs [Rating: 5 out of 5]
How does a forty-something end up utterly enthralled with the Sinatra phenomenon, a matter he knew only by name but had never paid much attention?For one, he determines upon news of Mr. Sinatra's death that he'd better become acquainted with this matter. Secondly, he buys a used copy of the VERY BEST OF FRANK SINATRA from an Amazon book-dealer, then listens to it over and over and over again.*Now* he begins to understand what the old fogies were talking about. Good grief, can this man *sing*!But it's a different kind of singing than the varieties I have known. It is smooth, not technically impressive, but somehow a matter of timing and feeling so preternaturally well-synchronized that they leave one *feeling* things. Deep things, things that Sinatra declaims with silky knowledge and an occasional wink when he sees that you get it.The Sinatra Machine, both authorized and otherwise, has spun off gazillions of versions of Sinatra tunes that you simply must know. You could begin with one of them.But trust me, this stuff is so good that you might as well dive into the deep end right at the outset and purchase this two-disk anthology. Then you'll understand.5) Very Nice But Not All Original Recordings [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I'm a stickler for getting original recordings, preferably remastered. Still, there are lots of great song titles here.
