AMG Review of By Request
Marisa Brown
All Music GuideA two-disc compilation not of Perry Como's biggest hits (no "Magic Moments," "Catch a Falling Star," etc) but of 40 of his love songs (some of them lesser known), including Rodgers & Hammerstein's "If I Loved You," Irving Berlin's "They Say It's Wonderful," and "Blue Skies," "Surrender," "Aren't You Glad You're You," and "Love Letters." All in all a pretty decent (in terms of both tracks and sound quality) selection of Como's material, especially for those not very familiar with him.
