The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "Sunny Days, Starry Nights as usual finds the great tenor at his best on the two ballads ('I'm Old Fashioned' and Noel Coward's 'I'll See You Again') while the other four originals have been largely forgotten."[2] Music critic Robert Christgau called the album "His most accessible and uncompromised album in more than a decade is soaked in the swinging pan-Caribbean 'calypso' that's been his special pleasure since the '50s..."[3]

gollark: There could be a reputation system too... but that would probably require comments... which would be messaging... stupid facebook.
gollark: You could still set up an IOU for 1000 CB Golds but then not actually *get* CB Golds.
gollark: I mean, *partially*.
gollark: Especially if instead of "***IOUs are not supported***" it's "the site helps with IOUs by enforcing transfer of stuff".
gollark: You may be in the minority. People who just join without seeing the forums and see "hey, I can trade for an IOU" may not think that.
