“One of a series of ultra-loose concept albums Ray Charles cut in the ’60s, this one is dedicated entirely to songs with titles or lyrical references to crying and tears. It’s an excuse for Charles to choose his usual varied menu of upbeat jumpers, slow countrified weepers, and proudly saccharine pop standards. The production, as one might fear, also tends to the lachrymose side on the slow tunes, with the thick strings and backup vocals straight out of TV variety shows. One is almost tempted to think that Charles was toying with audience expectations by mixing unabashedly sentimental slow tunes with the far more bluesy, satisfying, and upbeat numbers, such as “Don’t Cry, Baby” and “Baby, Don’t You Cry,” as well as his surprisingly brassy, punchy treatment of “Cry Me a River.” These outings have always played much better with critics than the gloppy pop tunes, and for good reason — they are much better.” – allmusic.com
