Rating: - Carly's Romance with Romance
I think that this was the definitive "falling in love with love"
album of Carly's career. Her voice captured the intimate sincerity of what each composer wanted to convey to their listeners.

Although Torch introduced fans to the fashion that Pop-Rock singers can and DO appreciate the great American songbook, I'm not sure that she was completely ready for it.
With this album. SHE IS and she does so most with excellence.

The noted favorites are when she and pianist Michael Kosarin are alone together such as in the beautiful rendition of Time After Time or the reminiscent He Was To Good To Me.

This is still one of my favorite Carly Simon albums ... Read More

Rating: - "My Romance"
"This is an album I have wanted to do for years. These are my favorite standards. This is my romance." ~ Carly Simon

My Romance
Words & Music By: Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart

My romance doesn't need to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of May
No shining stars
No hideaway
No soft guitars
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
'Cause my romance doesn't need a thing but you!

To me this is one of the best-ever CDs recorded by Carly ... Read More

Rating: - My Romance- a beautifully sung CD
Any Carly Simon fan knows Carly's classic CD "Torch" is her best
CD of standards. "My Romance" is just as good. "Torch" was a
collection of torch songs Carly recorded after the break-up
of her marriage with James Taylor. "My Romance" is a beautiful
collection of love songs. You can tell Carly loves these songs
she sings them with such ease. The orchestrations are beautiful
and the production top of the line. If you liked "Torch" you will be suprised at the beauty of "My Romance"

Rating: - TRULY ROMANTIC!
Carly Simon has come of age. Her choice of songs is not quite her usual. She has managed to bring out the necessary romantic vibes for the album - remarkable virtuosity for her in this case.

A few will think this effort `stinks' but if you enjoy a wider spectrum of music & are in the mood for love, this will rekindle that old flame in a long or flagging relationship. The album is just about the right tool for you to begin slow dancing to with your loved one if you haven't for a long time.

I first bought it 10 yrs ago. Have probably played it countless times and it still brings out right moods for me. If you like Linda Ronstadt's mesmerising renditions of Sinatra ... Read More

Rating: - This CD stinks
For those of you expecting classic Carly Simon, don't buy this CD. It's awful. I can't believe how many wonderful reviews are here regarding this recording. These old re-hashed tunes do not mesh with her voice, and all seem to have the beat S-L-O-W-E-D down to a geriatric tempo that will send you to sleep. I gave my copy away to someone else who thought they might like it. I think it's gathering dust on her bookshelf.
