"'Quiet Night of Quiet Stars' is perfect in its simplicity, the arrangement elegant and the execution faultless. Sinatra sings his first line and leads us by the hand into a dreamlike scene of starlight and magical stillness. Then the lyric unfolds in a series of meditative haiku, subtly gathering pace, until BANG! … there is a dramatic change of chords and an equally dramatic confession: 'I who was lost and lonely, believing life was only, a bitter tragic joke, have found with you, the meaning of existence, my love.' And we are plunged into the song's innermost heart…. It is all so perfectly concise that I don't think I've ever gotten to the end of this song and not wanted to go back for a second listen. They simply don't make them like this anymore. You must hear this."—David Gray, NPR
