A boy band that actually delivered a "rat pack" feel on an album?? It was, and is impressive. August 25, 2008

I'm sure it won't enhance Westlife's image to be praised by someone as old as I (closing in on 60). Nonetheless, I have to confess I'm a new total fan of Westlife. It was stumbling on this wonderful album, which features songs from "my" generation, that made me first aware this group even exists . . . strangely they're virtually unknown in the USofA. One play of "Ain't That a Kick in the Head" and I was hooked and subsequently bought several of their other CDs. BoyBand music isn't exactly my thing but every track on every DC proves just how broad their abilities are and why they're still around when most other BBs are long gone. Maybe it's because they avoid the pseudo-soul crotch-grabbing thing. Anyway, keep 'em coming guys--there's so little real talent out there. We need the likes of you! March 1, 2008

I was blown away by the way these guys, "Westlife" treated some of the best music ever recorded. A huge fan of the standards this group hit it right on the money. Really some good stuff here. Frank, "Mr. S" would be proud. November 3, 2007

Different from what we are used to from westlife, however very easy listening and a great way for them to show off their all round talent x September 6, 2007

This is karaoke at it's worst. One other reviewer said in here:
"Mostly the credit must go to the enormously swinging back-up orchestra." That's because it is note for note, instrument for instrument exactly the same back as the original. Listen to Westlife's "Ain't that a kick in the head", then go listen to Dean Martin's original. There's no difference! I would not be surprised at all if they sang to the same records, just with Dino, Sammy or Frank's voice edited out. These guys are horrible and should stick to screwing over the pop scene and leave the standards alone.
Think I'm being mean? Check this review from the Stylus website:
"Opener "Ain't That A Kick In The Head" is the most destructive thing to have happened to Dean Martin since emphysema."
I really can't improve on that.

Folks, if you like this music, listen to the masters. Not the wannabees. March 24, 2007
