Nadat deze androgyn klinkende jazzzanglegende door Lou Reed uit de obscuriteit werd getrokken (Scott was te horen op "Magic And Loss") maakte Scott zijn comeback op datzelfde grote Sire-label als waar Reed toen onder contract stond. Dit is de tweede weerslag van die comeback, in de subtiele handen van veelgevraagde producers Mitchell Froom en Tchad Blake (o.a. Los Lobos, Crowded House). "His abnormally high, nearly feminine vocals (the result of a rare disorder called Kallmann's Syndrome, which arrests development permanently during puberty) are even more dominant than usual on this program of standards; without strings arrangements, nothing gets between Scott and the sadness of songs like "It's The Talk of the Town" and "I'm Through With Love", both reclaimed from his brief '50s heyday. Milt Jackson's vibes drift through the tunes like snowfall, while the rest of the playing is so tight and sympathetic as to be invisible. This is exactly what many fans had long been dreaming of." (Dan LeRoy, Allmusic)
