"For my money, the best of Claudine Longet's original albums. Great song selection, arrangements, and performances. Essential for Claudine fans."
Scintillating Claudine transcends the piano-lounge genre

"No, she wasn't highly successful with her albums, her singles never peaked high on the charts, but Claudine Longet was a class act nevertheless, oozing French luxuriance but never decadence, she was the All-American French-girl-next-door. Her singing, highly imbued with her accent, is lilting, purring, often coy. The material she was given wasn't bad. Yet the production is first-rate, with high-quality session players supporting her. "Think of Rain", "Man in a Raincoat" and "Creators of Rain" turns out to be an intense trilogy, alternately sung brightly and with melancholy. The Beatles tunes aren't particularly gripping, but they do swing, and Claudine's version of "The Look of Love" is one of the best. She couldn't do a bad record, such is her grasp of our culture and the notion of romance. Turn down the lights, light the candles and fire up Claudine!"
