Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Underrated, at least in comparison with the better-known In the Wee Small Hours and Sings for Only the Lonely, 1957's Where Are You? is another excellent collection of melancholy torch songs, including "Lonely Town," "The Night We Called It a Day," "I Think of You," and "Maybe You'll Be There." As on those records, Sinatra doesn't sing so much as breathe, never overwhelming the fragility of the compositions with excessive displays of emotion. Of course, this approach just makes the songs sound that much sadder. This was also the first record Sinatra recorded in stereo, and Gordon Jenkins's lush string arrangements are obviously designed to take advantage of the new medium. --Dan Epstein Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Another master class in acting out the lyrics perfectly...I think Frank's half-dozen or so "broken heart" LP's represent his highest quality work, and this one ranks just a hair below "In the Wee Small Hours" and "Only the Lonely." Of course, as a fan, I also like his six best "hat" albums, those bright and swinging affairs. But the subtle selling of these lovelorn lyrics, recordings in which his silences and his breathing are as vital to success as his enunciation of each word, is something to behold. I keep it one star below the two more famous efforts mentioned earlier because those songs, overall, seem more powerful to me. For all his personal (and personality) troubles, Sinatra is THE American singer of the 20th century. Here, a man with an inadequate formal education, a dysfunctional family of ... Read More: Rating: - fine album of torch songs by Sinatra--BRAVO, FRANK !!!Where Are You? is a wonderful Frank Sinatra album here for us to enjoy on CD. Frank sounds great and he delivers these ballads with panache. The sound quality is excellent and the artwork is excellent. The album starts with the title track, "Where Are You?" Frank's character laments the loss of his one true love; and the arrangement uses the strings to great advantage. Frank truly never does perform with any exaggerated emotion--and this enhances the beauty of the ballad all the more. "The Night We Called It A Day" features Frank front and center--and that's OK by me! This torch ballad tells the story of a breakup from the point of view of a man who's still upset about the ending of their love. Franks' voice is quite strong and full ...

Rating: - "The Falling Leaves Drift By The Window, The Autumn Leaves Of Red And Gold..."Though not as recognized as the similarly themed "In The Wee Small Hours" or "Only The Lonely," "Where Are You?" is easily up there with the best of Frank Sinatra's work. His voice is as strong as ever, his phrasing and breath control are forceful and precise, and the songs are among the most beautiful he ever recorded. This album marks a departure for Frank, as Nelson Riddle does not handle the arrangements but rather Gordon Jenkins makes his debut at the helm. Jenkins was known for his lush string arrangements, and his arrangements fit Sinatra's style and these songs to a T, adding an extra layer of depth to these already poignant tales of lost love. As he did with "In The Wee Small Hours" and "Only The Lonely," Frank completely ... Read More: Rating: - SINATRA + JENKINS = GREAT MUSICImagine some of the greatest ballads sung by arguably the greatest voice in pop music history, backed by a master of classical nuance, Gordon Jenkins. Well, you need not imagine it anymore. This is it. The track, "There's No You," is worth the price of the album. Tony Horowitz |
