All Music Guide - Stewart Mason
When Noel Coward Album was recorded in 1955 and 1956, Coward was well past his most creative period. In his mid-fifties and well into the fourth decade of his career, Coward was as much a persona as he was a playwright or songwriter by this point. This is basically a straight recording of Coward''s cabaret show of this period, a double-album length collection of 29 songs spanning all of Coward''s career. A wry version of the traditional Scottish ballad "Loch Lomond" and a renowned Las Vegas-set reworking of Cole Porter''s "Let''s Do It Let''s Fall in Love"-- with the immortal couplet "Every man out there shooting craps does it/Davy Crockett in that dreadful cap does it" ...

The songs are brilliant, of course, and Coward''s droll delivery is utterly note-perfect. Those unfamiliar with this style might at first find Coward''s arch, clipped delivery a bit too droll, but a little persistence will uncover the pointed social commentary and often barbed satire behind songs like "What''s Going to Happen to the Tots''" and "Mad Dogs and Englishmen."
