Viglione said that if the album had "one drawback, it is that the 12 songs are incessant in their providing the same atmosphere...not only a very pleasant listening experience, it shows what a tremendous vocalist Dean Martin truly was". Vigilone describes Martin as performing as if "he were a lounge singer at 1:15 a.m. as the Saturday night crowd is dwindling". == Track listing == {{track listing |title1 = [I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)](/source/Confessin') |writer1 = Don Dougherty, Ellis Reynolds, [Al J.
