All Music Guide: Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music Vol.1 “Covering a period from 1939 to the early '60s, the tracks here touch on old-timey fare, honky tonk, and early countrypolitan. Along with a Top Ten go at Eddy Arnold's ‘You Don't Know Me’, the Gibson cover ‘I Can't Stop Loving You’ helped the album remain at the top of the pop charts for nearly three months and brought Charles international fame. Charles intones the sleepy-blue nuances of country crooners while still giving the songs a needed kick with his gospel outbursts. No pedal steel or fiddles here, just a fine store of inimitable interpretations.” (Stephen Cook)
