- The album was recorded in a single, marathon session on September 19, 1955, at Capitol Records' Studio B in Hollywood.
- Producer Dave Cavanaugh and arranger Nelson Riddle aimed for a cohesive, swinging sound, meticulously selecting standards that played to Sinatra's strengths.
- The album reached number 1 on Billboard's Top LPs chart and is considered one of Sinatra's signature works.
