1 out of 5 stars What A Waste!.......2006-06-24

This is just a terrible album. Benson is capable of far better things than this mindless fluff. "Corny" is the best way to describe it. This sounds like one of those contractual obligation albums, where an artist just releases anything to fulfill their contract. Don't waste your money on this garbage!

2 out of 5 stars Why Only two stars???????.......2005-02-10

How much you like this CD depends on why you like George in the first place. If you like his vocals, and his love songs, they are on here, and take up much of the album. If, like me, you prefer his instrumentals, they too are on here, and even through they are the minority, they are the reasons I enjoy this CD. Standouts are c-smooth, and poquito spanish, poquito funk, which are firing. Personally i wish george would do an instrumental cd, but maybe one day.

5 out of 5 stars Benson at his best.......2004-04-06

It's been several years since I purchased anything by George Benson. I wasnn't really sure what he was doing these days. Well, I can tell you, he's doing better than ever. You can't go wrong with one of his cd's, even if you've never heard one single track; you won't be sorry. Track 4, "C-Groove" was the only cut I had heard before I purchased the cd, but track 1,5, and 7 are by far my favorites, then comes track 9, 2, 3, 8,...well, the entire cd is great. You won't be disappointed if you're a Benson fan.

4 out of 5 stars "Standing Together" is a Smooth Treat!.......2000-09-22

The "staple" of jazz guitar that we all know as George Benson returns with nine tracks of smooth "feel good" music. You just can't help but get into this one. From the 1st track, "C-smooth" to the last "Keep Rollin'" George just keeps the sweetness comin'. What can I say? Its George. You won't be disappointed.

2 out of 5 stars Very average.......2000-03-26

Cruise Control is the closes cut to the Old George Benson.far to much of the material he plays it safe.The That's Right Disc was Better than this one.His Vocals are alright and There's some trademark Benson Guitar Playing but overall this is Cocktail Lite from a Man who is a Legend and can do most of this by the Numbers Material in His Sleep.
