Down Beat (p.76) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "This CD is best when Buble wraps himself around the brass and reeds of a straight-up big band....John Hamilton and David Foster also provide a few high spots."
JazzTimes (p.91) - "[Buble] suggests the caramel-smooth creaminess of Steve Lawrence, the sensual warmth of Vic Damone, the swingin' bravura of Dean Martin and the boyish showmanship of Wayne Newton."

Michael Buble ranks among the best of the contemporary crooners working in a classic pop-vocal style, and his 2007 album, CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE, further refines his suave, smooth style. With its finger-snapping big band arrangements, the album has its share of homage to Frank and Dino, both obvious cornerstones of Buble's music. But this isn't merely a retro exercise; the tunes, the production, and the overall feel are decidedly contemporary.

Stylistically adventurous versions of songs by Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, and Willie Nelson keep things lively, while "Everything," a Buble original, is one of the album's highlights. Still, cuts like the lead-off track ("The Best Is Yet to Come") and the old chestnut "I've Got the World on a String" will give listeners looking for some elegant, back-in-the-day pizzazz exactly that.

Call Me Irresponsible - Michael Bublé

The Canadian pop & jazz-vocalist Michael Bublé, 32, has dazzled us once again with his new album Call Me Irresponsible. This 2007 release has already won the 2008 Grammy for the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and continues to see great success. His smooth and intensely lyrical style highlights this album and is featured particularly well in his Billy Paul cover of “Me and Mrs. Jones”.

Although it may be easy to stereotype his music as outdated, Bublé’s twist is always fresh. His big-band arrangements are catchy and manage to keep you singing his lyrics all day long!

If you’re a Bublé (or Sinatra) fan, you will not be disappointed!
