AMG Review of 16 Most Requested Songs

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

16 Most Requested Songs is a midline-priced collection that spotlights many of Robert Goulet's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including "If Ever I Would Leave You," "What Now, My Love?," "Real Live Girl," "If I Ruled the World," "Take Me in Your Arms," "Sunrise, Sunset," "For Once in My Life," "Somewhere My Love," "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)," and "The Impossible Dream." Although it's far from a perfect retrospective of his career, it's still a nice sampler of familiar items, and it may satisfy the needs of some casual fans who only want the hits.
