Pop crooner Engelbert Humperdinck offers up an entertaining collection that mixes old chestnuts with new recordings. While the deep-voiced, U.K.-bred singer presents lounge-ready standards, fans of the Hump may be most interested in the previously unissued title track, a smooth, string-laden number that perfectly suits the performer's romantic, Don Juan persona.
