I'm in the Mood for Love...The Most Romantic Melodies of All Time is Kenny G's twist on the trend that's found artists, from Rod Stewart to Gladys Knight to Barry Manilow, repurposing classics for modern consumption. Or is it? A scan of the track selection is as likely to get listeners wondering whether he's covered these songs before as it is to drum up curiosity about how they'll sound spiraling out of his signature sax. For instance: silky as "The Way We Were," the Barbra Streisand chestnut, comes across, it stirs a sense of deja vu as much as wonderment; as does the Sinatra medley "Fly Me to the Moon/You Make Me Feel So Young." Such familiarity is without doubt the product of impeccable taste and a seasoned ear--somebody, whether it's Kenny G or a behind-the-scenes studio type, knows what works for the curly-topped jazzman and what's better left un-saxed. Still, such scrutiny can make for a disc that's aurally matchy-match; a stab at an out-there number--Etta James' "At Last" or U2's "With or Without You"--might have worked, too. That said, hats off to the G-man for pronouncing a couple of recent hits among the most romantic of all time: Alicia Keys "If I Ain't Got You" deserves it especially, and is mesmerizing here. --Tammy La Gorce

Mellow Kenny G music cd July 1, 2008
This is a vey nice cd. Some if the songs are pretty old, like 50/60 years ago, but sill nice. Also, there is no singing which makes it nice background music.
 They happy middle for those on the fence about Kenny G! March 20, 2008
My husband and I are on two ends of the spectrum when it comes to Kenny G. I personally think he's fantastic! I can't get enough of his relaxing smooth music! But my husband...he's not a fan to say the least. But this album is the happy middle!! Many of the songs my husband loves so he can enjoy right along with me!
I put this album on my iPod and played it in the car yesterday.... all 4 of my children were completely silent and relaxed the entire 45 minute trip!! Is it a miracle in MP3 form!? I think so!!! Any mother knows quiet kids in the car is nothing short of amazing!!
Thank you Kenny for bring my family together! hahahaha
All kidding aside this is a fantastic album! Each song is better than the next. Very soothing and romantic. Great to play during dinner, while enjoying a bubble bath, or even a romantic evening. I rated it a strong 5 stars!
Good but not Great March 5, 2008
I guess I am so used to being moved by most of his previous endeavors that this one just didn't shine or standout for me. TMP
Kenny G's I'm in the Mood For Love-Most Romantic Melodies of All Time is the very best! February 8, 2008
Kenny G's music is out of this world and he is perhaps the best musician of our times. It's a joy to listen to his music and make it a part of your life. I bought two of these CD's. One for my brother and one for myself. Truly enjoyable.
ROMANTIC!! January 19, 2008

Get a glass of wine, sit in front of the fireplace, and smooch with your honey while this plays in the background.
