Editorial Review: Amazon.com: A 20-track collection from the Reprise years that tries to cover too much ground. Very Good Years sweeps from the early 1960s to 1979's "New York New York," focusing on the most obvious Sinatra standards. The watchword here isn't art but populism. That's not a problem, really--but it means that serious fans (or those aspiring to be) will be better served elsewhere. It would be a fine introduction for the casual music lover, but so would any decent collection. For a compact Reprise-era sampler, try either this one or something from the Greatest Hits series. --Gavin McNett Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Good Overview of the Reprise Years"Sinatra Reprise" focuses on the singer's best work from 1960 to 1979 - combining the integral singles ("Summer Wind," "That's Life" and "My Way") with classic performances of "Fly Me to the Moon," "The Best Is Yet to Come" and "It Was a Very Good Year." Along the way are memorable live versions of "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "The Lady Is a Tramp." Of course, the show-stoppers remain "Luck Be a Lady" and a triumphant "New York, New York." Though no match for the glorious Capitol era, this 20 ...

But what I do know is that I first heard him on a film soundtrack years ago, and I was hooked. So I went out and bought 'Gold,' a Capitol record of his, and this one 'Sinatra Reprise.' While both are great, I still prefer 'Gold.' While this has 20 songs and 'Gold' has 12, I still pick 'Gold' every time. Why? Because there is a charm that Frank had in his Capitol sides ...

Not one of the true 5 star Best Of Sinatra recordings, but a fine CD none-the-less. 4 Stars. Rating: - Some masterful moments4.5 stars Yes, there are more well-rounded and less "poppy" Sinatra collections, but this does have some of his finest moments, and those moments are quite perfect. Any fan of Frank's amazing phrasing, clipped delivery and crisp timing will find many sterling examples of these and his various other delights. That said, there's some real cheese here too, like Strangers, which really is a weak piece of plastic. That is, however, the great irony and mystery of Old Blue Eyes, ... Read More Rating: - Sinatra Is The Man I listen to mainly rock but this is a fine collection of music by a man who set a standard with standards. Sure this album goes through the 60's quickly gets to the 1970's but I really enjoyed his Reprise years over any other period of his singing. So depending on your taste, this is a winner one way or the other. I highly recommend getting this one. Search for our site Judemac Forever on msn,Google or Yahoo.
