Till Death Us Do Part - By: Fred Bookie, 29 Mar 2008 
Robbie was the star of Take That & this album shows why. It is a combination of Frank Sinatra & Elvis.
And the likeness is not restricted to singing. Sinatra & Presley also made movies as well as great music & now Robbie is followingin their footsteps.
I cant wait to see him as East End gangster Harry Harrisin the movie version of the Garry Jackson novel Till Death Us Do Part.
Robbie Williams: he used to be good... - By: Jolene, 15 Dec 2007 ... &in many ways, this is him at his finest, paying homage to his idols with a collection of expertly crafted, beautifully orchestrated covers (and one new song), all liberally dusted with the glitter of swing.
Robbie's having the time of his life here, & he's even brought some friends along for the ride - Rupert Everett, Jane Horrocks, Nicole Kidman & even Frank himself (with permission from the Sinatra estate, if you need any proof of the quality of this recording).
This album is timeless, uplifting, & a joy to the soul - provided you have one, that is - still as enjoyable 6 years on & will be forever. Ifin doubt, buy it & let the magic grab you. You won't be disappointed!
poor...please listen to the originals instead - By: Brendan O. Clarke, 11 Nov 2007 
This album lacks everything a good record should have, originality, creativity & of course talent. At least the U.S. has had the good sense to ignore this chump; sadly to our shame wein the UK have taken him to our collective hearts. I hope you're happy with that because to me this sounds like an hour long version of the birdy song with a drunk singing "I did it my way" all over it. Truly poor...
However, the band was great, which for the most part (if not 100%) out classes the untalented Mr Williams.
The star of this recording is for the band.
Reaching The Peak - By: Santos for President, 24 Aug 2006 To show this album anything other than deep respect & appreciation would be a insult to the great artists from whom these songs have drawn inspiration. The modern reproduction of some of the classics has inspired a generation of todays youth who, until its release, had had little exposure to this genre of music. Mr Williams' reputation has given the project a popularity & credability unachieveable by anyone elsein the industry, a project which has, undoubtedly, been the catalyst for the re-birth of a whole era of musical history. The recent success of artists such as Michael Buble can be firmly placed at the feet of Mr Williams, who took an unprecedented riskin producing something so diversein comparision to his previous work.
To say that the content of this album is a poor relation to the performances of Sinatra, Darren & the likes would be hugely unfair. This album has taken some of the classics & re-packaged them into a form recognisable by today's youth - a crucial property some 50 years on from Sinatra's peak - whilst remaining faithful to its mentors. Nothing will ever match the talent that was Frank Sinatra - & this doesn't attempt to do so - this album reaches out to the popular culturein society - & entertainsin a way that only Mr Williams can - magical.
Robbie Swings - By: , 22 Nov 2005 
Reading other reviewers of this album, there were a few negatives by people who obviously believe it to be sacrilege to tackle classic standards, especially ones sung by the truly unique voice of one Francis Albert Sinatra. I felt Robbie Williams more than held his ownin interpreting these songs. He had fine musicians & a good engineer. His 'One for my Baby' was a really good version, backed up by some fine piano playing. Of course he's not Sinatra, but he never claimed to be: I just think he grew up with a lot of the songs, & wanted to see whether he could cut it & have some fun with them. He stuck pretty faithfully to the arrangements, & I think he by & large pulled it off. Of course grab the originals; those fabulous songs written by the truly great writers who were queuing up to get a cover sung by the great man, & masterpieces of orchestral or big band arranging displaying all the talents at work. Sinatra's signature vocals & Nelson Riddles arrangements are momentin time greats, but this album will give a lot of Robbies fans a differing view of his abilities. Like Sinatra he let the songs breathe & produced a really nice easy listening album. Let me entertain you......he certainly did sir!
