MOG Editorial Review

While the "Chairman of the Board" used his soaring vocals in many different ways, he was at his best crafting the lonely ballads that appeared on In the Wee Small Hours. Centered around heartbreak and the late-night navel-gazing that often comes with breakups, the message of songs like the title track and "Glad to Be Unhappy" resonate as much now as they did half a century ago. What's more, the understated jazz used to create these ballads bring Sinatra's love-lorn baritone front and center, making it one his best vocal displays, not to mention one of his most inspired. The next time you're staring at the window heartbroken, this album will make a nice companion.
AMG Review of In the Wee Small Hours

All Music Guide

Expanding on the concept of Songs for Young Lovers!, In the Wee Small Hours was a collection of ballads arranged by Nelson Riddle. The first 12" album recorded by Sinatra, Wee Small Hours was more focused and concentrated than his two earlier concept records. It's a blue, melancholy album, built around a spare rhythm section featuring a rhythm guitar, celesta, and Bill Miller's piano, with gently aching strings added every once and a while. Within that melancholy mood is one of Sinatra's most jazz-oriented performances -- he restructures the melody and Miller's playing is bold throughout the record. Where Songs for Young Lovers! emphasized the romantic aspects of the songs, Sinatra sounds like a lonely, broken man on In the Wee Small Hours. Beginning with the newly written title song, the singer goes through a series of standards that are lonely and desolate. In many ways, the album is a personal reflection of the heartbreak of his doomed love affair with actress Ava Gardner, and the standards that he sings form their own story when collected together. Sinatra's voice had deepened and worn to the point where his delivery seems ravished and heartfelt, as if he were living the songs.
