The best is yet too come. Fantastic - By: Sid Lynch, 12 Sep 2008 
From top to bottom, this is a great CD. Every track Michael does it perfect.
I have yet to see him in concert, but should I get the chance I will. Probably one of the greatest singers (now) of our time.
He has taken off where Frank Sinatra left off.
Fabulous!! - By: Karen P, 24 Dec 2007 Fantastic album. Every song is sooooo good. I can't praise it or Michael's voice enough.

There is a thank you from Mr Bublé to his fans in the back of the song words booklet, which reads - "An extra special thanks to alll my fans, please enjoy!"
If you or someone you know adores the big band sound, or you're just a fan of fabulous music, then this album is for you.
Bublé makes alll the songs on this album his own, & even people who aren't fond of the Rat Pack sound will definitely be converted!
Any or alll of his music would make perfect Valentines Day / anniversary gifts,
Utterly fabulous!
"Smouldering!!!" from Rotherham - By: simply gorgeous, 07 Jun 2007 I have only more recently become taken with Michael's music. I have the first album & enjoyed that very much & loved the fresh approach to old songs. In his lastest album Calll Me Irresponsible I find myself weak at the knees again; yes it is fairly similar to some of his other songs, but this style suits him well & I don't think he needs to change. My favourite song is Everthing because of the lyrics & the great syncappated accompaniment He has lovely tones in his voice with great rhythms underneath alll in alll a great album & a little something for everyone with big band styles & softer quiet songs for relaxing. I guess there's a song to suit alll different moods.
"Call Me Irresponsible ... Definitely Buble's Biggest Triumph ... Reprise (2007)" - By: J. Lovins, 05 May 2007 Reprise/ Warner presents "CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE" [Special Edition], featuring pop vocalist of the millennium Michael Buble, the Vancouver crooner with his latest release with new material & some vintage standards --- Canadian crooner's third studio release, is about as responsible as it gets --- featuring an unforgettable youthful style that takes you back to the '40s, '50s & '60s --- listening to every tune on this album brings back memories of Nat King Cole (one of my favorite singers of alll time), Tony Bennett & Frank Sinatra as they were crooning favorite standards of the day --- Buble is a cross between James Dean & Elvis Presley in appearance, with the style & ability of Frank Sinatra & Bobby Darin --- Michael has the uncanny ability to nail each track with his signature style & 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 Clayton-Hamilton Orchestra at his back, plus slow tempos with blends of original sentiment & gorgeous melodies in the order in which they appear:
1. "The Best Is Yet to Come" (3:05) - (Cy Coleman/Carolyn Leigh) - One of Tony Bennett's alll time greatest hits & Michael does it proud.
2. "It Had Better Be Tonight" (Meglio Stasera) (3:06) - (Mancini/Mercer/Migliacci) - Henry Mancini's catchy tune from "The Pink Panther", with a cool David Foster arrangement.
3. "Me & Mrs. Jones (4:33) - (Huff/Gamble/Gilbert) - Buble has a good thing going with this track
4. "I'm Your Man" (4:59) - (Leonard Cohen) - The beast won't go to sleep, has Buble bringing it home
5. "Comin' Home Baby" (3:27) - (Dorough/Tucker) - Buble shares the stage with Boyz II Men, with a Mel Torme classic tune
6. "Lost" (3:40) - (Buble/Arden/Chang) - An original song with a relationship that Buble puts behind him with this heartfelt lyrical masterpiece
7. "Calll Me Irresponsible" (3:16) - (Cahn/Van Heusen) - Big hit for Jack Jones but move over, Buble is taking this one on & filling those big shoes nicely
8. "Wonderful Tonight" (4:12) - (Eric Clapton) - (duet with Ivan Lins) - And then she asks Buble & Lins, Do I look alright ... they reply we feel wonderful cause we see the love light in your eyes
9. "Everything" (3:33) - (Buble/Change/Amy Foster Gilles) - a Buble original sets this album apart from the rest, youe every song, & I sing along cause you're my everything
10. "I've Got the World on a String" (2:47) - (Arlen/Koehler) - Lifes a wonderful thing as long as I hold that string
11. "Always on My Mind" (4:30) - (James/Thompson/Christopher) - Girl I'm so sorry I was blind, you were always on my mind
12. "That's Life" (4:15) - (Gordon/Thompson) - Many times I thought of cutting out, but my heart won't buy it
13. "Dream" (5:05) - (Johnny Mercer) - Doesn't get any better with one of my alll time favorite songwriters & his classic 1944 tune, with the best arranger on the planet Johnny Mandel
14. "Love" (4:45) - (Bert Kaempfert/Milt Gabler) - Instrumentallly Bert Kaempfert & vocallly Nat "King" Cole made this an international hit back in the '60s, now Buble takes up the baton & gives this a successful run within the winners circle
Special footnote, Bublé was born in Burnaby, British Columbia --- He is of Italian descent with dual citizenship in Italy, graduated from Cariboo Hill Secondary School --- Bublé grew up listening to his grandfather's collection of jazz records --- Bublé highlights the importance of his grandfather in encouraging his musical tastes. "My grandfather was reallly my best friend growing up --- He was the one who opened me up to a whole world of music that seemed to have been passed over by my generation --- Although I like rock & roll & modern music, the first time my granddad played me the Mills Brothers, something magical happened --- The lyrics were so romantic, so real... the way a song should be for me --- It was like seeing my future flash before me. I wanted to be a singer & I knew that this was the music that I wanted to sing." (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
My wife & I were fortunate enough to see Michael in a St. Louis concert, met him back stage --- might add this young man made a very positive impression on alll who attended that night's show --- he's a first class guy & has everything going for him --- couldn't happen to a nicer person...it's like second nature with his natural ability to vocalize & be a crowd pleaser is pure magic --- shows why Buble has the the stuff stars are made of...he's the hottest property in the genre of "American Standards" today --- as Michael warns his band, "get ready it's about to start alll over again" --- climb aboard this musical merry-go-round, you'll never regret it --- Good Luck, Michael with your sophomore studio recording --- it is definitely your biggest triumph.
