The section labeled "Reception" only contains the opinion of one music critic from the All Music Guide, written decades after this album was released, at a time when the critic (Stephen Thomas Earlwine) was just a college kid working for his uncle's company (All Music Media).

This one kid's opinion is supposed to reflect how this album was received when it was released? Can't we do any better than this on wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.174.155.138 (talk) 19:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't shoot the messenger, there are a few contemporaneous reviews here. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sinatra+%22a+man+alone%22&aq=f&sugexp=chrome,mod=5&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=sinatra+%22a+man+alone%22&hl=en&safe=off&tbs=bkv:p,cdr:1,cd_min:1900,cd_max:1999&tbm=bks&source=lnt&sa=X&ei=lXRKUM28IeGQ0AXdmYCIBg&ved=0CCUQpwUoAg&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=bd9759244a8f0160&biw=1279&bih=622 Gareth E Kegg (talk) 22:28, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed reception section as it appears simply the thoughts of one reviewer and nothing else. Album seems to have garnered more positive reviews than one reviewer would suggest (check Amazon for real people reviews). Unless you have multiple real reviewers and data on sales it seems the section should be left blank until better realized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.72.36.177 (talk) 16:20, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
