Of “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head," esteemed pianist and cabarett singer Michael Feinstein said in Entertainment Weekly: “This [version] is beautiful, because it makes me enjoy hearing this song again. Sometimes you have to completely reinterpret and reinvent something, and that's what he does. It's very sexy, and it's gorgeous...It's definitely an album that's gong to be great, ummm, wooing music."
