Amazon.co.uk Review
My Way: the Best of Frank Sinatra collects 46 tracks culled from the estimable American singer's vast back-catalogue for a remarkable two-CD set. Sinatra was one of the greatest voices of his--or any--generation, and for the most part, these songs are some of Old Blue Eyes' finest works: among the best are "Come Fly with Me", "Lady Is a Tramp" and "I Get a Kick out of You". But with such an immense and classic back-catalogue of songs to choose from, it's a shame that the compilers felt it necessary to add so much cheese: "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and "Mrs Robinson", for example, don't do Sinatra, the songs, or the listener any justice. Still, that's why CD players have "skip" buttons. --Robert Burrow

 Undoubtedly the best Frank Sinatra compilation available! March 29, 2008

This is an excellent update of the previously released "My Way: The Best pf Frank Sinatra": the record company have added a whole new CD! The single album was already terrific value for money, containing as it did Frank's best loved and most well known songs but the addition of the extra CD has made this an indispensable album for anyone wanting to add some Frank Sinatra to their CD collection - it just beats all the other competition clean out of sight!
If Sinatra fun, gotta have this one! January 20, 2008

Definitely this double album is one of the best compilations of an artist. This double CD contains some of the best song recordings of Frank, and includes all of his best songs, in just the right price. "Something Stupid" sang with his daughter Nancy, was to me a very pleasant surprised, as i never heard this recording before. Seriously, people who are not fun of Sinatra or 60s music of this kind, did not complain listening to both CDs playing one after the other ;)
The best 'best of'.......... August 11, 2007

I've had this cd for a while now, it's one I listen to when I want to relax (along with Andrea Bocelli).
I got this purely based on the songs I saw featured & the fact that I reliased my musical taste was changing fast. I played this a lot over Christmas & it really helped me chill out - c'mon girls, you all know what Christmas is like for the lady of the house!!!! *:-D
I'd recommend this album to anyone - especially if it's the only Frank Sinatra cd you plan on buying - it's definately got the 'best of' on this 'best of....' which is unusual (most fo the time it's random & you like a few of the 'best of' tracks!)
Highly recommended CD!

My Way: The Best Of Frank Sinatra collects together all of his hits from the Reprise years. But that is not all, most of Frank's best known songs are here as well. Masterpieces such as I've Got You Under My Skin, I Get A Kick Out Of You, Come Fly With Me etc. But these Capitol era classics are all re-recordings from albums such as Sinatra's Sinatra, Sinatra and Swingin' Brass etc. So if your looking for the original Capitol pieces your best bet is the excellent Platinum Collection or all his great albums from that period. However these re-recordings are still pretty good. Nelson Riddle tweaks his arrangement for Under My Skin and Neal Hefti comes up with some briilant arrangements for I Get A Kick Out Of You and Pennies From Heaven matching or prehaps even bettering the orignals. This album is a great intro to Sinatra giving you all his hits on two discs. If your already a fan chances are you already own most of these recordings. If not then this is a great way to get them all. While the re-recordings may not be to everyone's taste it's still a good album. However I do feel that some songs have been missed out, I personally would have liked to have seen more of the Sinatra-Basie albums (represented here by The Best Is Yet To Come and Pennies From Hevean). Prehaps if Reprise had collaborated with Capitol (as they did with the Romance 2 disc cd) then the album would have felt more definitive.
 Disappointing, sluggish versions!!! July 4, 2007

When I first looked at the list of songs you get on this double CD album I was really impressed. I didn't think I could go wrong with so many classics included. But..... I have just listened to it (I received it this morning) and I'm afraid I am going to list it on Ebay straight away. I was expecting to get an album with all original recordings but unfortunately it is a collection of half-hearted versions. I was expecting the 'full of life' and 'uplifting' ones you hear, say, on the adverts on telly. Oh no! The versions on this album are far from likely to put a spring in your step. The orchestra seems to drown out Sinatra's voice in almost every track and I was particularly disappointed with 'Mack the Knife' which is my favourite. It usually never fails to make my toe tap away but this time it just made me feel a bit sleepy and bored. Like I said before - nice track list, but they're all a bit lifeless. I am now off to buy his other 'Best of' album from 1997. Wish me luck!?!
