All Music Guide

Spotlight on Matt Monro is an excellent 18-track overview of his recordings for Capitol Records. Although it doesn't contain all of his biggest hits, it does have a representative sampling of hits and lesser-known gems, making it a good introduction to the vocalist's work. Among the highlights are "My Kind of Girl," "I'm Glad There Is You," "I'll Take Romance," "Laura," "Autumn Leaves," "Ebb Tide," "From Russia with Love," "When Joanna Loved Me," "The Good Life," and "September Song."
