I have been a Bob Dylan fan for years .Love a lot of his music.However his attempt at doing the standards is at best pittiful.Probably time for Bob to call it a day.He is only damaging a great legacy.
Just...no

If you enjoy the standards, Frank Sinatra, or any type of music in general, steer clear of this album. If you are one to like anything with Bob Dylan's name on it, or you are deaf, you'll probably like this.
Don't classify it as "rock," iTunes

It's hard to let go of the idea of Bob Dylan as the James Dean of the '60s, but he has mellowed in recent years. His voice isn't good in any traditional sense, but his expansion into other musical genres is interesting, poignant at times, sometimes even comic (as in "Must Be Santa" on the Christmas album) to hear. I agree with the reviewer who said he'd listen to "Bob and his band sing the phone book" over 90% of contemporary pop.
Is it Christmas?

I never thought he could do worse than his Christmas album. Well…….he’s succeeded!

this is stupid an nonsensical. if any other artist released an album of sub standard covers it would be panned but since it's bob dylan, whom i admire and respect immensley, everyone acts like it was some genius and calculated career choice. Personally i think it's boring and definitley his most dated album since the mid ninties
Horrible no, forgettable yes

Dylan should be Dylan. He should
concentrate on writing great songs which he is still capable of. Anyone who thinks is greatness has never heard a Frank Sinatra 50s torch song album. Listen to Where Are You and then try and equate this work. Now Sinatra couldn't have made Blonde on Blonde or Time Out of Mind and when he stepped out of his arena and tried to do contemporary pop it was also mediocre at best.
Can't listen to it

These are not the type of songs Dylan should ever try to "sing". Dylan is best when he is performing his own music. I would prefer to here Sinatra sing these songs any day. Looking forward to the next Dylan album of new Bob Dylan penned material. God bless Bob Dylan, but this is not an album I can take seriously.
Reverential and beautiful

By BertieJeeves
This is a beautifully and tastefully performed rendering of classic songs from a different era and of course genre than which we normally associate Mr Dylan. It is genuine and thoughtful, is lovely to listen to, and those who criticize this reverential performance do not know or understand one of our greatest living American artists.
Listen first before you decide to not like this album

Good Old Bob

He's exploring- he's never had a top notch voice and he still doesn't. That shouldn't matter; he sings from his heart. You've got to dig deeper into this. Don't listen to the sound of his voice if you don't like it. I'm glad he's still doing the thing he loves best. Look at him go. I'm happy we still have a Bob Dylan. The world would be so different without him. I thank God for the songs he sings- every last one of them.
Refreshingly... Bad

By Jctotempole
Refreshing..because of the sound of the recordings. It is analog and lush and moving. Bad ...because the singer cannot sing. Yes he conveys a little emotion but his performance is mediocre and brings the music down. He seems infatuated with the songs and gets to sing them because he has pull in the music business from his past work in folk/rock. Well, la de da da, Bob is into Frank.. But if Frank were alive I highly doubt it would be mutual. Bob's interpretation is at best hi-fi karaoke. If this voice had been any non-famous person then the album would have a rare 5 star rating (from friends and family). The truth is that if you read the positive reviews they are almost all written by Dylan fans and followers. They will write anything positive of their has been hero... Even when the hero is no longer doing anything heroic.
Not Good !!

I have been a Dylan enthusiast for about 45 years but this is where I draw the line. I have tried to keep an open mind after listening to some of the album but this just isn't my cup of tea. I gave a chance to Modern Times and Time Out of Mind which I enjoyed but not Shadows in the Night....
Nope I just won't buy into this type of music !
No Thanks

Well, I thought that this could only be bad. I was heavily pre-judging it based on my love for both Sinatra and Dylan - and intensely disliking Dylan’s Christmas album - which seemed like a stunt. But - listening to this album with open ears and open mind - I’m totally transfixed by it. The arrangements are original and beautiful and Dylan’s voice - well, he’s gone from the one note growl to something else entirely. He’s singing - with more heart and soul than you’ll find in a hundred newcomers. I know it’s gotta kill some of you to hear the Dylan who is sincere - who sings from the heart. But it’s all here. It’s utterly original - weary, heartbreaking, lost. Real instruments and decades of living all in the same room - creating magic. Anyone who says Dylan never had a good voice has no true understanding of the man’s talent. Let go of preconceptions of what this is “supposed” to sound like - and get into the depth of it - beautiful loss. Great album!
Excellent

I couldn’t get through it. Bad idea to do this because his voice is not capable of capturing the songs true essence.
Huge Dylan Fan Taking A Pass

By AustinCoffeeTime
I have been a Bob Dylan fan since the 60s and possess and enjoy his work. He has the freedom to sing and record any song of his choice. But, we fans have the choice to sample his art and then decide if we wish to add to our music collection. This album lacks musical range, impact, but does possess Dylan's character. I choose to take a pass.

Ugh. The signs an aging rock star has run out of creativity, testosterone, or simply something to say? An all duets album ...or an all covers album. Run from this flaccid bomb! Gouge out your eardrums! Retire, Zimmerman, its over!
