Critical reception
Billboard reviewed the LP in its issue from 28 April 1956, describing it as follows: "The LP spotlights Carmen Cavallaro, who impersonates Duchin on the soundtrack, while Tyrone Power fakes the keyboard work on screen. Cavallaro plays a group of nostalgic standards [...] popularized by the late society bandleader in a frothy, sophisticated style." The magazine was very positive on the LP's sales potential: "There are plenty of packages designed to cash in on Columbia's forthcoming bio-musical, 'The Eddy Duchin Story,' [...] but the soundtrack version should grab off the major share of spins and sales."[1]
Chart performance
The album peaked at number 1 on Billboard's Best Selling Pop Albums[3] and Pop Instrumentals charts.[4] It finished 1956 as the fourth best-selling album of the year in the United States according to the magazine.[5]
