Editorial Review: Amazon.com: It's no coincidence that Michael Bublé's new album starts with just his voice and some fingersnaps on "The Best Is Yet to Come," a song made famous by Frank Sinatra. The Canadian smoothie looks longingly towards early-'60s Vegas, an impression quickly reinforced when a boisterous horn section makes its grand entrance, about 20 seconds into the track. That Bublé means business is confirmed by the second cut, a fast-paced take on Henry Mancini's "It Had Better Be Tonight," and of course by the CD's very title, another song identified with Sinatra as his cockiest. There are just a few sidesteps from the retro formula that's served Bublé so well so far: a languid duet with Brazilian star Ivan Lins on the bossa "Wonderful Tonight," a gospel choir on "That's Life." Interestingly, Bublé co-wrote the best of those sidesteps, "Everything," a Norah Jones-esque number that alluringly harks back to sunny '70s pop. It's also the only song on the album produced by Bob Rock (best known for his work with Metallica), sending out a strong signal that Bublé should reach out to unlikely collaborators more often. --Elisabeth Vincentelli More Music from Michael Bublé

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Call Me Irresponsible is one of the best Easy Listening albums of 2007Michael Buble has delivered two major hits in the #1 Adult Contemporary single, Everything and has followed up with an equally impressive hit in the song, Lost. This album is amazing. Michael Buble delivers with this album. Rating:  - Good, but is it his best yet?This is a very good CD, no doubt, but something's not quite gellin' for me when I listen to it. I'm not ready to call it Bublé's best quite yet. Now, I could just be biased from listening to his previous two studio releases so much - if they had been vinyl I would have long since worn the needle through to the other side. I don't have trouble with his mixing old standards with new songs, nor with him choosing classic songs that are not from the "crooner" genre (which he and Foster have been doing since their first effort). It is, in fact, his renditions of those classic "crooner" numbers, like "The Best Is Yet To Come" and "I've Got The World On A String," that give me so much pause. Bublé is no Bennett or Sinatra - nor should he be - so it's ... Read More: Rating: - A truly interesting blend of traditional jazz and contemporary pop.As a performer, Bublé is the closest thing to Frank Sinatra there is today. "Call Me Irresponsible" is the latest offering from Canadian hot-young-thing Michael Bublé. The handsome singer has already gained success in recent years with albums "It's Time" and "Caught In The Act" and singles including one of 2005's most played radio tracks "Home". With new and original material the crooner hopes to gain a new and more contemporary following. To this end, the new album mixes old standards with new songs such as "Lost" - a melancholy tribute to a break-up - and the first single from the album," Everything". While fellow artists trying to emulate the sounds of Ol' Blue Eyes and his gang may stick to the tried and tested ...

I have seen him in concert...he is surely the frank, dino, bobby, and all the rest wrapped up, of our time...way to go Buble...keep giving us this wonderful music..we will keep buying it and attending all your concerts...Congrats on your best disc yet... Rating: - "Call Me Irresponsible ... Michael Buble's performance is Irrestible ... Reprise (2007)"Reprise/ Warner presents "CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE", featuring pop vocalist of the millennium Michael Buble, the Vancouver crooner with his latest release with new material and 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 and '60s --- listening to every tune on this album brings back memories of Nat King Cole (one of my favorite singers of all time), Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra as they were crooning favorite standards of the day --- Buble is a cross between James Dean and Elvis Presley in appearance, with the style and ability of Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin --- Michael has the uncanny ability to nail each ...
