A Quick Review:

It's Frankie! What else really needs to be said? Ol' Blue Eyes at his "funnest" and quite nearly at his best!

The songs on "Come Fly With Me" all follow a travel theme, and this fact ties the record together and makes it fun!

My only complaint about the album (and it's not a big one) is that the balance of upbeat to slow songs is exactly half-and-half, six to six. I prefer the upbeat songs, but the slow songs on here are top-notch, with great orchestration from Billy May.

So if you consider yourself a Frank Sinatra fan, you'd be doing yourself a disservice to not listen to this album as a whole. So do yourself a favor and take Frankie's advice: sit back and "light the home fires, get your slippers, make a pizza," and take a listen. Just remember: you may have the sudden urge to get up and swing in those slippers too!

Great fun!


Final Verdict:
3.5 out of 5
Definitely recommended.
