With enough jazz, gospel, and blues in her approach to find some unexpected new edges in her versions of pop standards, Della Reese radiated both character and versatility as a singer. This budget two-disc collection isn't necessarily the ideal introduction to Reese (it lacks her biggest hit, 1959's "Don't You Know," for instance), but it does have its moments, including a fine version of Irving Berlin's "All Alone," a sassy take on "Pennies From Heaven," and a breezy, ornate, and odd (but definitely interesting) arrangement of Cole Porter's "In the Still of the Night."
