Reception
Spencer Leigh, in his 2015 biography of Frank Sinatra, Frank Sinatra: An Extraordinary Life , framed Riddle's White on White as part of an attempt by Riddle to target the youth market, and critiqued the choice of "Kissin' Cousins" as nondescript.[ 4]
The American Record Guide wrote that "Almost anyone with a bit of swing in his bones and an eager ear for good music must admit that Nelson Riddle leads one of America's better recording orchestras. The Man from Hollywood is at his best on White on White, Shangri-La, Charade, and Other Hits of 1964. "[ 5]
