Entertainment Weekly (2/23/01, pp.158-9) - "...Essential....The show caught [Garland] at that magic hour when the nervous girlishness and no-holds-barred vibrato from her early movie musicals could cheerfully cohabitate..." - Rating: A Q (6/01, p.128) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Of its no-business-like-showbusiness kind, there's no more iconic album than this..."

It was Judy Garland, not Bing Crosby, who inherited Al Jolson's mantle as America's premier 20th-century entertainer. Possessing both the voice and pure show-biz sensibility for the requisite broad gesture, her own emotional vulnerabilities also gave a special depth to every single performance.
