The Best of the Capitol Years is an effective distillation of the three-disc set The Capitol Years. Featuring singles and album tracks, the disc contains a fair number of highlights from one of Sinatra's most creative periods.

Originally released as a set of multiple 78s, Christmas Songs by Sinatra contains a number of holiday standards Frank Sinatra recorded for Columbia Records during the '40s. Recorded with arranger Axel Stordahl, the songs are lush and gentle, underscoring the warmth in Sinatra's voice. Much of this music is wonderful and a worthwhile addition to any Sinatra collection, even if it doesn't contain any revelations or truly classic performances. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
