"On ‘Keep You Satisfied’ Wilson turned to Japanese producer, Kiyoshi Itoh, and his arranger, Masahiko Satoh, whom the singer had worked with on two previous albums (‘I’ll Be A Song’ and ‘Godsend’) for the Interface label. They knew how to bring out the best in Wilson, finding sympathetic (and organic) arrangements plus contemporary material that suited her slightly acerbic, tart delivery and brought her sound up to date without compromising her musical integrity. Though the material includes a cover of George Michael’s pop perennial ‘Careless Whisper,’ there’s nothing crass or cringe-worthy about it; in fact, Wilson makes the song her own, transforming it into mid-tempo soul groove. Other highlights are the slow-building opener, ‘Just To Keep You In My Life,’ which rides on a sinuous groove, plus a fresh take on Rufus and Chaka Khan’s ‘Heaven Bound’ and a beautifully sensuous rendition of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Just To Keep You Satisfied.’" (soul&jazz&funk)
"Nancy Wilson's R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal) is her duets album, but unlike other recent releases by singers in this format, which feature two vocalists (and often oddly matched ones, at that), most of the pairings here are with instrumentalists like George Shearing, Toots Thielemans, Phil Woods, and Gary Burton, which means this remains very much Wilson's baby, dominated by her hushed and elegant vocals. Only two tracks feature other vocalists. Less pop than her recent outings, R.S.V.P. is mostly made up of ballads, highlighted by a wonderful version of Gordon Jenkins' "Goodbye" and the elegant, late-night regret of "Blame It on My Youth" which closes out the set. It shows that Wilson can still wring every last emotion on earth out of a ballad -- then return to sing the second verse." (AllMusic)
"Focusing in-depth on her Capitol recordings during the 15 years of her prime, this three-disc set is a wonderful collection for those who appreciate Wilson's ability to combine Broadway power and finesse with jazz rhythm. While the complete record of her '60s and '70s work would require at least a dozen discs the compilers chose these 71 performances with care. They show her excelling in any format, whether small-group or big-band or strings and thriving whether in the controlled confines of a studio or the freewheeling atmosphere of the Cocoanut Grove. She also worked with superior musicians, including George Shearing, Cannonball Adderley, Billy May, Oliver Nelson, and Gerald Wilson, among others. While some of Wilson's best peers could have been expected to deliver as much excellent material during relatively short periods of their careers, The Very Best of Nancy Wilson: The Capitol Recordings 1960-1976 should stand as a revelation to fans of the pop and soul end of vocal jazz."

"De combinatie van deze Nancy Wilson-albums, Hollywood: My Way en Broadway: My Way, biedt aangename, gemakkelijk te beluisteren interpretaties van Broadway- en Hollywood-klassiekers. Deze 24 nummers – waaronder "Tonight" van West Side Story, "Moon River" van Breakfast at Tiffany's en "Days of Wine and Roses" van Days of Wine and Roses – houden zich uitzonderlijk goed. De lp's werden oorspronkelijk uitgebracht op Capitol Records in 1963 en 1964 en waren uitverkocht totdat EMI ze in 2001 opnieuw uitbracht op een cd."(AllMusic)
