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.
