Though I've heard some of Buble before, this is my first time being exposed to an entire album. My best summation is that it's good. It's not great; it's not bad. It's a solid, nice-to-listen-to album. I've always liked that Buble doesn't seem to have the hubris to believe that he can do better than the legends who made famous the songs he remakes. The flip side of that is the risk that there will be little point to a remake -- if it's the same as the first, why bother? In this album, he mostly does a good job of walking the line between those two ideas. He sticks to the character of the original songs, recognizing the quality therein. But he (or his composer/s) also adds a bit of modernization through some creative updates in orchestration. Some are more significant than others, some more effective than others, but the overall effort is noticeable and appreciated, balancing slightly more modern scores with Buble's fairly traditional vocals.

Words are boundless! Michael Buble struck gold again with “Crazy Love”. This cd project is an ambitious mixture of the old melodies and contemporary sounds. With such a mesmerizing, captivating voice, one cannot resist listening to the entire album in one sitting.

Michael Bublé returns in this album with a series of songs that offer a calming and soothing experience. While not my typical style of music I still found the whole cd highly enjoyable and easy to listen to the whole way through.

I found this cd really enjoyable. The interesting thing about it is that the song choices are really from a variety of styles, yet Buble takes them and makes them his own. While the variety of pieces on this are covers, he still manages to own them - to make you believe him. As always, his voice is amazing, and takes you to another place. There are several standouts, including All of Me and Stardust, to name a couple. It occurred to me recently that there is enough variety on here to make this a great choice for a gift for almost anyone. I would say that even for a list of mostly covers, this is still a truly sincere album.

I always enjoy listing to Michael Buble and this is no exception. I expect to hear some great covers and this album provides that – I particularly enjoyed “Cry Me a River” – it was a new take on the song – the intro to the song is great and is not at all what I expected. His voice as always is smooth and reminiscent of past greats. However, I really enjoyed his two new songs as well. “Haven’t Met You Yet” is an upbeat, fun song that you can’t help but sing along with and feel happy when hearing it. "Heartache Tonight" is another upbeat song on the list and provides a perfect compliment to some of the slower songs like "You're Nobody Until Somebody Loves You". “Baby (You’ve Got what it Takes)” is a great duet and is another of my favorites on the album. Overall, this new album is a great addition to Buble’s work, providing a great mix of old and new, and hits the mark.

"I have to admit I didn't love this cd when I heard it the first time but it has grown on me and is now one of my favorites. While I prefer the Eagles version of "heartache tonight" and Ray charles singing "georgia on my mind", I like the jazzy pop spin that Buble puts on these and the other tracks.. Loved baby (you've got what it takes) and whatever it takes. If you are a fan of the old style crooners like Sinatra or even a fan of Harry Connick Jr. then you will like Crazy Love. It's sure to get you in a good mood and your toes tapping."

This was great to listen to on a vacation trip. When things got tense in the car this helped us be more relaxed. His voice is great and his re-makes of songs are really pretty good.
