Amazon.co.uk Review
For his fourth studio album Canadian crooner Michael Bublé has headed into the studio with his live band to create an album ofâ¦autobiographical love songs. The outcome, according to Bublé, is the "ultimate record about the inevitable roller coaster ride of relationships". It’s true that from the dramatic opening--a great cover of Julie London’s "Cry Me a River"--the album swings like a pendulum between introspective balladry and exuberant pop. As is to be expected with Bublé, he has revamped plenty of classics along the way, tackling evergreens like "Georgia On My Mind", Van Morrison's "Crazy Love" and the Eagles' "Heartache Tonight" with typical aplomb. He also joins contemporary soulsters like diva Sharon Jones (of Dap Kings fame) on "Baby (You’ve Got What It Takes)" and singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith to recreate one of Sexmith’s tunes, the sultry "Whatever It Takes". Bublé’s two self-penned songs fit in well with the overall high standard. The poppy single “Haven’t Met You Yet” is catchy and the folky “Hold On” also helps make Crazy Love yet another quintessential Michael Bublé experience. --Danny McKenna

 No bonus track! October 26, 2009
J. Skoglund (Lund, Skane Sweden)
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Amazon.co.uk list this item as comming with the bonus-track Some kind of wonderfull. That's wrong. The CD/DVD combo has the original version of the CD with 13 tracks. So if you want both a DVD and the bonus-track you have to buy both. I guess the record-company doesn't wnat you to have it all in one package.
BEST CD THIS YEAR!!! October 19, 2009

Micheal Buble has proberbly recorded his best album yet and in doing so has embraced all sections of the record buying public. The voice is perfect whether scaling the heights or singing in his boots and each track is a gold star performance. I could not fault a track because each track has a magic about it that only Buble and the excellant orchestrations encompass. The changes from swinging band and sometimes swinging voices to smooth strings with full orchestra on other tracks. Listen to 'cry me a river' with pounding orchestral opening giving the standard a different dimension. Listen to 'Some king of Wonderful' ( an old Drifter's hit) smooth pop at it's best. I could go on. Do we have to wait another year for another album ?
The Best HAS come... (so far anyway !!) October 19, 2009

I haven't been this excited to hear an album in ages and I was not disappointed. Great beats and contrasts of style and Michael's voice sounding better than ever. It must feel great to know you can open your mouth and make that sound, I am so jealous !!!
Cry me a river has a really original arrangement that adds so much to an already great song and I think his voice has got better (who would have thought that was possible ?!!!) and that adds something to all the tracks. His own compositions are excellent once again and he has made great choices for the other tracks. The big band sound on Heartache Tonight is fabulous and the beat on baby (you've got what it takes) is infectious. (Mum would have loved it - bless her )
Recommended without hesitation and can't wait to see him live again soon.
"Bublé uncanny ability to nail each song with his signature style" October 12, 2009
J. Lovins (Missouri-USA)

Reprise/ Warner presents "CRAZY LOVE" (Special Edition/CD & DVD), you now have a front row seat with the Compact Disc and DVD, dynamic opening track "CRY ME A RIVER", featuring pop vocalist of the millennium Michael Bublé, the Vancouver crooner with his latest release with new material and some vintage swingin' standards --- Canadian crooner's fourth studio release, is about as versatile as it gets --- jam packed with an unforgettable youthful style that takes you back to the '40 and '50s --- listening to every tune on this album brings back memories of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole (one of my favorite singers of all time) and Tony Bennett (who is still going strong), crooning favorite standards of the day --- Bublé has the uncanny ability to nail each track with his signature style and making it his own.
Buble's performance is impeccable, the renditions are simply from the heart --- one can hardly pick a stand out, entire recording draws on the swinging bands of yesterday like Count Basie, Quincy Jones, Billy Mays and Nelson Riddle at his back, plus slow tempos with blends of original sentiment and gorgeous melodies in the order in which they appear --- Some favorites on this album surface "CRY ME A RIVER", "ALL OF ME", "GEORGIA ON MY MIND", "HOLD ON", YOU'RE NOBODY TILL SOMEBODY LOVES YOU", "BABY (YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES)", "STARDUST" and "HAVEN'T MET YOU YET" -- but what the hey, I love all thirteen tracks with the big brass, velvety strings and lush tones from our favorite crooner.

BIO:
Michael Bublé (Michael Steven Bublé)
Date of Birth: 9 September 1975 - Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
Date of Death: Still Living
This special edition with CD/DVD is well worth the price of admission --- A look behind the scenes of this roller coaster career of the young 34 year old crooner --- One can only hope that his popularity and voice will live on much like his predecessors Crosby, Sinatra and Bennett --- Bublé is carrying the flamed torch of his many mentors to keep the "American Songbook" alive, gotta love it!
My wife and I were fortunate enough to see Michael Bublé in a St. Louis concert, met him back stage --- might add this young man made a very positive impression on all who attended that night's show --- he's a first class guy and has everything going for him --- couldn't happen to a nicer person, it's like second nature with his natural ability to vocalize and be a crowd pleaser is pure magic --- shows why Buble has the the stuff stars are made of --- Michael's the hottest property in the genre of "American Standards" today --- as Michael warns his band, "get ready it's about to start all over again", and that's 2009 and beyond --- climb aboard this musical merry-go-round, you'll never regret it --- Good Luck, Michael with your latest studio recording --- it is definitely a trip and a half.

Another superb album from Michael. The best version of Cry Me A River I've ever heard and a terrific mix of standards and new material.
I pre-ordered it and was a bit miffed it didn't turn up straight after the release date. However, worth the wait.
