My step-father brought this home on 8-track in 1968 and to this day when I listen to it, I can go back to that place in time. Wes is on it, the arrangements are sharp, tasteful and evoke a mood that I will always cherish, even the cover fit to a tee. Wes was a unique artist, the likes of which we won't soon see again. Something about the early sixties...just makes me want to make a highball, throw a t-bone on the grill, light up a Kool Filter King, kick back and enjoy life...this is a great period piece, May 22, 2008

Wes Montgomery, California Dreaming is one of best guitar masters of our time. He is a true master of the guitar. I myself am learning how to pay the guitar now. I recommend this cd.. It's great for summer listening. August 6, 2007

I have a sentimental attachment to this recording by Wes Montgomery. I bought the LP when it came out in 1965 or 66, everytime I play it, it takes me back to that era of recording. It is heavily orchestrated by Don Sebesky, but it does not obscure the unique sound produced by Montomery. I Love his rendition of "Sunny" and "California Dreaming". Beautiful music, and one of his last albums before his untimely death in 1968. You can't go wrong with Wes. August 3, 2005

Although I agree that this album is on the commercial side, it's still a fantastic recording, with great arrangements and spectacular soloing by Wes. Yes it's ultra clean, but also very cool. In particular the guitar solo he lays down on the track "Sun Down" still amazes me--after listening to it for 30 years. February 8, 2004

Wes plays good on this recording, but it is far from his best work. I like to buy all the recordings from an artist I like. If you're like me, save buying this cd until last. It is just so (...) compared to most of his other work. If you have all the other Wes recordings, then get this one. Why not. All Wes recordings have their good points and this one is no exception.
