It's You or No One


It's You or No One is a studio album by American singer Bobby Darin, released in June 1963.
Darin had left Atco for Capitol Records, but left this album unreleased since it was recorded in 1960. The first side was arranged by Torrie Zito, with the second arranged by Bobby Scott. The swinging first side makes little use of the brass section, while the slow second side has the feel of a chamber orchestra and no use of percussion at all. As with Darin's previous albums of standards, the album is a mix of well-known songs and obscurities, including three numbers written by Libby Holden, about whom very little is known.

Reception

In a review for AllMusic, critic JT Griffith wrote "Like Love Swings, It's You or No One is upbeat first and melancholy "the morning after....Familiar territory for Darin, but filled with moving, solid interpretations."
Cash Box referred to it as a "sure-fire sales item."
Nigel Hunter of Disc notes "There are strings on hand to sigh softly in the background aud occasinoally on the fun side a gentle... swing from the rhythm section.
