Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga duet on an album concocted in the spirit of throwaway fun, says Neil McCormick
Quote:
If you take this album in the spirit of throwaway fun in which it seems to have been concocted, it is harmlessly engaging, although all of these tracks have been delivered more persuasively before, many of them by Bennett himself, whose voice is showing the inevitable creaks and strains of age. Ultimately, though, they don’t really sound like they are singing together so much as attacking the same songs from different perspectives.
