From Billboard November 17, 1962: Enoch Light and his ork light out after the latest catchy rhythm from Brazil, the bossa nova, and they turn in a flock of big, lightly swinging performances of the infectious rhythm with the big band. The sound is excellent, the stereo arrangements sparkle and the band plays with style. Big sales ahead here.
