Songs for Swingin' Lovers debuted on Billboard's Top Pop Album chart in March of 1956, where it spent 50 weeks. The album peaked at #2
An All Music album pick.
From Stephen Thomas Eriewine's overview:
Like Sinatra's previous Capitol albums, Songs for Swingin' Lovers! consists of reinterpreted pop standards, ranging from the ten-year-old "You Make Me Feel So Young" to the 20-year-old "Pennies From Heaven" and "I've Got You Under My Skin." Sinatra is supremely confident throughout the album, singing with authority and joy. That joy is replicated in Riddle's arrangements, which manage to rethink these standards in fresh yet reverent ways.
Dad shoots a family photo at Gibson Park in Great Falls, Montana, a few weeks after the release of "Songs for Swingin' Lovers". Not an event that would have registered with any of us.
