Magnificient But Often Overlooked5
This album was Frabk Sinatra's final release for Capitol and supposedly recorded under a lot of bad vibrations already. It re-uinites Mr. Sinatra with arranger Axel Stordahl, who was responsible for his very first Capitol recordings eight years prior to this final album (Mr. Stordahl was terminally ill by 1961).

Recorded in just two sessions, it stands as one of the best Sinatra ballads albums ever - including wonderful renditions of "As Time Goes by" and "I'll Remember April".

This is such much better than most of the stuff Sinatra recorded on his own Reprise lable in later years, and - in my opinion - one of the best three Sinatra releases available (the other two being "Only the Lonely" and "September of My Years").

The Point of No Return5
Brillient - as a Frank Sinatra fan - this must be one of the very best c.d's ever made, the lyrics just have to be listened to to appreciate him.
It is listened to every day - just buy it and see for yourself -

Stordahl does Sinatra no Favours2
Sinatra's last album for Capitol is for me a fan who thought he (Sinatra ) could do no wrong a huge dissapointment.
He is not helped by some of the most unimaginative orchestrations
by Axel Stordahl,Sinatra seems to be trying too hard to sound suicidal,I might have missed the point of this "concept" album and it might grow on me but it's nowhere near the classic "In the wee small hours" his choice of songs or rather his interpretation of certain songs that have been recorded in a more swinging style on other albums for instance "Day In -Day Out" "I'll Be Seeing You" and "There Will Never Be Another You" seem out of place" and lose that special something when interpreted this way, Sinatra seems to be looking for something in these songs that is'nt there .So altogether a dissapiontment
on two levels both the arrangments and the standard of Sinatra's singing which Stordahl reduces to mere mortal levels with his dull orchestrations.Sinatra's career continued to flourish when he left Capitol but sadly "Point of no return" is not a milestone.
