I bought this for my partner, and she plays it ALOT! It's not my cup of tea but to her it is great. So, I guess if you like his style of music,you will enjoy it.
I had the CD and loved it. Found it here and sent it on to my old love.

It's Time--Michael Buble
Michael Buble's remakes of various songs have invariably been successful. This CD is no exception. I highly recommend purchasing it.
Great CD by a great artist. I can't say anything bad about this CD.

Thank You, Sunday Morning
With so many reviews I am basically doing this to be able to rate the CD, which I gave five stars to. My sister had made me aware of a Sunday morning show hosted by Charles Osgood called Sunday Morning which usually features a singer or group each week. One Sunday it was Michael Buble and I decided I liked his style. I am not a Frank Sinatra fan, nor a Dean Martin, Paul Anka or Perry Como. I am a recent Guy Lombardo fan who awoke in me an interest in big band music which is a definite change of pace from the guitars, banjos and fiddles used in my favorite types of music -- folk and bluegrass. I was and always will be a Beatles' fan, so I chose this one for Can't Buy Me Love. I did recognize You Don't Know Me, Save the Last Dance For Me, and How Sweet It is. I played the disk and just let myself be enveloped in the sounds from trumpets and saxophones. What struck me from the start was how much it reminded me of the end song in the DVD Finding Nemo called Beyond the Sea with the feel of a lounge song. I enjoyed Buble's singing though I would not be able to compare it to similar style musicians as I don't listen to them. The tempo was soothing and exciting at the same time, and liked that he hadn't changed the sounds of the selections I was familiar with. Whether I will buy another of his CDs or not, I am very pleased with It's Time.

Soulfully Smooth
Michael Buble has a voice for the ages. Theres not much to say about this album except that its spectacular. His voice is incredible and his cover of old songs is stunning!
Michael Buble, singing in the classic style that hearkens back to Ole Blue Eyes and Dean Martin, is in fine form on It's Time. A great CD that gets even better with repeated listenings. The following are song by song reviews:
1. Feeling Good 4/5
2. A Foggy Day (In London Town) 5/5
3. You Don't Know Me 3/5
4. Quando, Quando, Quando 3/5
5. Home 5/5
6. Can't Buy Me Love 3/5
7. The More I See You 4/5
8. Save The Last Dance For Me 5/5
9. Try A Little Tenderness 5/5
10. How Sweet It Is 4/5
11. Song For You (Featuring Chris Botti) 5/5
12. I've Got You Under My Skin 5/5
13. You And I 4/5
I purchased this cd for Home and Save The Last Dance. I also think Michael has a great voice and can sing a mean ballad. But I also thought the entire cd would be full of songs that were release as singles on the radio and theyre not. He has a Big Band sound and thats fine, but if you dont like a whole lot jazzy sounds, pass on this one. But worth the buy for the radio songs ~caw~

Call Me Irresponsible by Michael Buble, CD
Wonderful singer! I love it that he mainly sticks to the old classics, Sinatra tunes in particular. Buble even sounds like Sinatra in some songs. Anyway, love his choice of music, plus he's always got a great orchestra behind him. Quality CD!
I love this cd, I love the mood that it creates, as you can just kick back, and take a breather, sitting around the fire, or cooking a meal, just soothing music... just wonderful.

A voice and a stylist! Not extinct!
Buble has the voice and the style of a classic crooner, with some "today" phrasings that really sell his songs. Very talented young man, very enoyable listening.

It doesn't get much better than this ....
Won't do singer/product analysis. Just know, if you like the genre and the style that Buble presents, you'll thoroughly enjoy this album! You can sit back/sing along/dance in ...whatever. In every cut, he re-invents "mellow" and makes you wonder how he can so easily crossover (or is that crossback?) intergenerationally. But, good music is always good music; the difference here is solid and original interpretation in the hands of a great musical artist. Enjoy!!

Michael Buble, It's TIme
Excellent! I saw Michael on Glenn Beck. Hadn't heard about him before so I ordered 2 CDs. Lovely voice, fun music, brings back memories of Bobby Darin and others. Even my teenage daughter loves the music...especially "Everything"
Michael Buble sings great songs with intonations and a voice that makes them even better. Great arrangements complement his singular voice. His duet with Nellie Furtado on 'Quando Quando Quando' is fantastic. 'You and I' is the best song on the album. The kind of music that makes you feel you are on vacation at a swanky bar and grill overlooking the water on a warm summer evening while you are enjoying a cocktail and the company of the most enchanting woman you've ever had the pleasure to meet - it really gets and keeps you 'in the mood'
This was a gift to a friend. She really likes this CD. I have not actually heard it, but do like his style.

I think he is just wonderful.
I listen to him all the time, albeit in the car or on the computer with headphones. His band is wonderful. He is such a success and getting better with every CD. What a delight to have this kind of talent.
I bought this cd for my daughter. I am always listing to it as well. Its so nice to see music changing back to real singing again. He is a very good singer and I like his style as well. My daughters also like him as well as my mother.Its music we all agree on. We will buy more of his music.
Fantastic. I listen while commuting to work. Helps make the trip easier to deal with bad drivers. I like Michael better than Sinatra, his vocal styling evokes a quiet seduction of the senses.
This is by far Michael Buble's best effort. The songs are produced beautifully and the vocals are top-notch.
If you are a Michael Buble fan, then this one is for you. He has the smooth sounds of the 50's, easy listening music.

A Voice Like Silk...
Michael is one of the best male vocalists of my generation...
I can say that with conviction as I have seen him live, in concert many times...
Michael has managed to make each track on this album his own.
By doing so, he has brought Jazz music back to the forefront of modern music. No easy task, I know. I love the fact that Michael is not trying to be Frank or Bobby or Dean. Michael is Michael and that is plenty for me...
If you like Michael Buble, you'll love this CD. He's a great singer. This is my first CD by him and I'm making a collection. I hope to have all of his music.
I'm a new convert to Michael Buble! Love the older songs, with his cool style!

the sound for generations
In an era of loosing the greatest generation at a rate of over 1000 per day. His music is simply energetic. The combination of big band sounds with the voices that we have loved to hear over the years brings the times when romance intermixed with the hardships of life made us look forward to Saturday nights with the crooners and divas of your. This modern day mix of music endears to me to the people that have made our lives what they are today-- Better.
I truly enjoyed this CD and am in the process of getting others made by Buble. I have managed to sway a lot of opinions about him thru just letting people hear him in the office. I have persuaded a few co-workers to go buy his CD, and of course thru [...]. Michael Buble just has a smooth and soulful voice reminiscent of Sinatra. I throughly enjoyed this CD and look forward to a few more. :o)
Okay, so I love crooners, jazz, blues, male or female. I have Diana Krall, Madeleine Peyroux, Harry Connick Jr. Jamie Cullum, etc. I thought "Can this Michael Buble guy be any different?" Yeah, he is. Don't compare him to Sinatra. That he is not, but he is something totally new. I think of him more of a lounge singer. Very velvety voice and great song choices on this cd. I especially love the first song "Feeling Good" it reels you in nicely.
actually I bought the CD for the song "home" which I am sure you have heard since it was a good hit. Well that is the only song in the CD that is very slow and romantic all the other songs are from a totally diferent style that is just not what I listen to.
What a voice. I love to sing along with it and I will by many more of his.

A fine collection for all ages
This contains a mixture of traditional vocals and lively jazz interpretations of songs previously made popular by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Karen Carpenter. I was pleased when my 19 year old girl, formerly into rap, fell in love with this album.
The CD arrived in time and in good condition. The supplier keep me
informed of the status of my order and ETA of the product. Great service!!!

Michael Buble is WONDERFUL!
If you like easy listening music that`s reminiscent of Frank Sinatra, then you`ll love Michael Buble. I haven`t heard any artist this fantastic in years. This CD is the one you put in when you want to relax.
He is my favorite new singer. Very reminiscent of Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and the great Swing music of the 40's.

Another well done CD
This is another very well done cd by Michael Bublé. If you like his work, you'll enjoy this new edition.
This is a great CD - if you like Michael Buble's current CD (Call Me Irresponsible) you will like this one as well. This album has more slow songs on it than the current album, but still sexy and fun.

He just can't do the blues....only slightly convincing
I like Mike. He's a talented guy, but this, and the Call Me Irresponsible CD are just ok. He makes a few attempts in areas where he is not proficient, doesn't have the training, or the voice, but makes a decent go of it. However, the end result simply isn't convincing. He should stick with covers as he did in his opener, and even then, try not to make them his own by changing the musical accompaniment vastly. Good Jazz/Crooner, stick with it! Don't let the producers get in your way.
I LOVE THIS CD. I LOVE THE SONGS AND LOVE LISTENING TO IT WHEN I AM WORKING ON MY COMPUTER.
Love love love Michael Buble.. this is another great one. I think he is just wonderful. I listen to him all the time, albeit in the car or on the computer with headphones. His band is wonderful. He is such a success and getting better with every CD. What a delight to have this kind of talent.

Wish I was in Paris.......
This is a really classy album of hits. I love the smooth mellowness of Michael's voice. He has a way of making every song he sings sound perfect. If you have been waiting for a classy singer and performer, wait no longer. Buy this album and sit back for awhile. I guarantee it will relax you and put you in a good mood. You'll have a smile on your face!!

Listen to it with the one you love
Buble has brought back the melodies of yesterday with new tunes of his own today. His smooth sounding voice, his passion are just excellent. Some say his Genre is Bobby Darin, but Buble has a style all his own. On this DVD you will hear the sound of the boogy beat and big band. You want to dance, you want to sing and swoon. Many of the tunes you will hear, you will hear for the first time, because it is sung in a different way. Quando, Quando, Quando is just beautiful with the lilting voice of Nelly Furtado. Home, a new song when this was released, has passion. Save the last dance has a nice twist to it. This is definate worth the price and worth having in your collection of great music.

Not a bad song on the whole CD!
Michael Buble sings like the love child of Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick, Jr., Dean Martin, and maybe a little Perry Como and Andy Williams thrown in for good measure. The guy is SMOOOOOOOOOOOTH. Not only that, he has an unerring instinct for the unusual song arrangement. How do you take "Can't Buy Me Love" and turn it into an homage to both the Beatles and Benny Goodman-era swing? Somehow, Buble manages to do it. And in "Feeling Good," the opening track on this CD, he injects a considerable amount of James Bondesque thematic stuff--check out the snazzy, brassy horn arrangements here.
When he's paired with anyone, he's going to make them sound better than they might on their own. I'm not a big Nelly Furtado fan, but on their duet on "Quando, Quando, Quando," he makes her sound worth longing for--and she sounds simultaneously innocent (in her aching for him) and sultry--as though she's slinking across a piano wearing little more than Chanel No. 5 and a smile.
"Save the Last Dance For Me" becomes a salsa/samba/tango tune that is less about dancing and more about what happens at home after the dancing--and on "Home," a tune Buble had a hand in writing, he addresses his own frenetic touring lifestyle and the importance of remembering who's waiting when the tour is done. All in all, a stellar, outstanding effort by an adventurous and talented musician.
This is probably the BEST voice I have heard in a long time. You can feel the songs that he sings. I recommend this CD to everyone; because this is the way music should be.

Another Great Album
I love Michael's music. Home is my favorite song on the album because as I listen to it I really feel his need to be with the people he love. He wrote this on the road while touring because he missed his family back home and it is absolutely beautiful. This album gets five stars. (Anyway, anyone who can master Gershwin's A Foggy Day (In London) gets a fiver from me. Love Gershwin!!!)

Yep - Buble wins again
OK - I'm partial to Buble. But the boy has a voice and the talent to reallly deliver a song. He has the big band sensibility with some current sassiness that really hits home. The arrangements are brilliant. He should be around for many years to come - as long as there are people who are ga ga for the standards.

New Timeless Classic for Young & Old
I am just going to echo the hundreds of 5 star ratings for this CD. Anyone can find something touching in this album from 21 to 101 years old. I loved this cd so much that I had the last song, "You and I" played for my 1st dance with my husband at our wedding last year - you know its a beautiful song when I get teary eyed just typing this!

Michael Buble CD
Loved this CD! so refreshing to hear a younger singer bringing back and/or reinventing these classic tunes. The brass on "Save The Last Dance For Me" is fantastic.
"it's time" is a great CD first to last song. i've always liked Harry Connick Jr.'s music but i've really not been turned on to anybody else's. I like everyone else heard "Home" on the radio but nothing else so i took a chance and bought the CD. the song that i really loved was and is " Quando,Quando, Quando" with Nelly Furtado. i have played "Save the last dance for me" at several weddings and it goes over great. other covers like " can't but me love" and "I've got you under my skin" are GREAT renditions that do the original more than justice. This CD is a can't miss with anybody out there who enjoys a different sound then what today's music has 2 offer. A throw back with class, style...this is a just a GREAT cd! this guy makes u wanna order a dirty martini and put on the stetson!!!

Love It !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I adore Michael's music! His voice is so smooth and silky. listening to any of his music is like being caressed. Maybe that sounds silly but when you hear him sing you will understand! Give this album a try, you won't regret it!
