Murray drops any pretense of singing pure country and steps into a Patti Page/Peggy Lee guise instead. The whole set consists of her taking on chestnuts like "The Wayward Wind," "Secret Love," and "Cry Me a River." ~Dan Cooper

Anne Murray is the last of the great Alto's. She has that special and undefinable vocal presense, so unique it has a mysterious way of entering your heart and soul. Listening to her haunting vocal rendition to ''Hey There'' reminds all of us that love's not just a one way street. There are only a handful of today's contemporary vocalists who can control and utilize their voice effectively, people like Linda Eder, Harry Connick, Jr., Sarah Mc Lachlan, and cabaret artists like Lee Lessack, Karen Mason, Michael Poss... just to name a few. But, will the young "bubble gum" pop-country Diva generation ever decide to stop "scatting" and just simply sing the melodies of today's songs? Our new generation of teenage singers could use a couple of vocal lessons from Anne Murray, because Anne's phrasing on the ''Croonin''' CD is a real a treat, and I think a lesson for a lot of today's teenage pop/country music stars. ~Amazon

Anne Murray's vocals are like a fine scotch: they just keep getting better as the years go by. This smooth collection of standards is what you would expect from her, with well-arranged orchestrations that complement her already nearly pitch-perfect voice. It's a wonderful set of selections, but not without a bit of melancholy found in each song. I'll Be Seeing You was thematically chosen as a somber but moving tribute to the loss of her close friend Cynthia McReynolds. ~ Rob Theakston  http://www.allmusic.com/album/ill-be-seeing-you-mw0000470986
