Billboard July 1, 1957:
"A virtuoso performance in schmaltz. The sound of Babai's violin, the cymbalom (cimbalom), cellos, etc., will make women desert their husbands and mothers their babies. Dealers with buyers addicted to this Romany music should by all means stock this item. It is authentic, throbbing, and full of fire. Strong men will smash seltzer bottles on the floor. Included are Monte's "Czardas," "Fly My Swallow," and the pseudo-gypsy "Le Canari" ("Hot Canary")."
