Just One Of Those Things is a theme album comparable to one of Frank Sinatra's uptempo swing albums of the same period (Come Fly With Me, etc.), and employing the same arranger/conductor, Billy May. Cole is a bit less effective than Sinatra at uptempo material; he tends to undersing these sprightly standards, and May saves his dramatic horn charts and percussion shots for moments when Cole is away from the microphone. Even so, by the fifth track, "These Foolish Things Remind Me Of You," May has retreated to ballad time, and though his embellishments threaten to break out behind the singer, Cole gives an assured, unhurried performance. And that's the point: That Cole has tamed the rambunctious May does not mean he doesn't give wonderful interpretations to some wonderful songs -- "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," "Just One Of Those Things," "The Song Is Ended (But The Melody Lingers On)." And the light-handed swing supports those efforts well. (Originally released in November 1957, Just One Of Those Things was reissued on CD in March 1987 under the title Just One Of Those Things (And More). The reissue contained three bonus tracks previously released on the 1964 album Let's Face The Music!, an album on which Billy May took a more aggressive posture and, notably on "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down [And Write Myself A Letter]," included here, Cole matched him note for note.) ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
