Capitol U.K. released this mid-price two-fer containing two thematically and musically similar Nat "King" Cole albums from the early '60s. Both LPs found the singer tackling lovelorn subjects, but employing midtempos to keep contemporary. Both title tracks were hits, but there were relatively few memorable songs (exceptions were the near-standards "Near You" and "You're My Everything"), and arranger/conductors Belford Hendricks ("Dear Lonely Hearts") and Ralph Carmichael ("I Don't Want to Be Hurt Anymore") were not the most inspired.
