4/5

Elsewhere, the peppy 'Let's Face the Music and Dance' hears Gaga take on vintage Vegas glamour with her sweeping vocal tottering over a tight brass section, while Bennett's smoky inflection on 'Sophisticated Lady' is as effortlessly rich as a tipple of American Honey at Ronnie Scott's. What's more, Gaga's solo outing on Billy Strayhorn's 'Lush Life' is a full-bodied performance, starting with her light quivering vocal and building into a warm vibrato over flourishes of strings. It's a reminder of the star's formidable voice, which is allowed to soar free of earworm squiggles.

The Washington Times

This is a liberating album for Gaga who shows that she doesn’t need the outlandish meat dresses, voice-altering electric effects and elaborate stage shows to make an impact because her voice stands out on its own. Had she been born in an earlier era, Gaga would have been right at home in an MGM musical. On her solo features, Gaga sings softly and with restraint on Porter’s ballad “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye,†and shows her vulnerability in an emotional rendition of Billy Strayhorn’s “Lush Life,†clearly identifying with the song’s theme of loss and heartache.

I will update once it's clear what Billboard gave the album cause some see 3 and a half star and I only see 3 stars. I hope Billboard clears it up fast!

Meta added the Billboard review as an 60, can somebody please send them a message or something to correct it? they gave it 3.5 (70)

 

Edit: Ok i just sent them an email about the wrong BB score and the Chicago Tribune review missing.
