"The warm, vintage pop, jazz, and country that Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward have always seemed so smitten with comes to life on Classics. This impeccably arranged set was largely recorded live with a 20-piece orchestra fleshing out romantic chestnuts like "Stars Fell on Alabama" and the Johnny Mathis classic "It's Not for Me to Say." With her sweet, winsome lilt, Deschanel has never really felt like a rock singer, and she seems completely in her element here interpreting these classy 20th century gems in a throwback style".

"For their fifth album - a covers record composed largely of pre-rock standards popularized by singers like Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald - the duo shift focus to the Forties and Fifties. The surprisingly loungy results are unusually daring for these two: Deschanel and Ward pare back the melodrama of "Unchained Melody" and Johnny Mathis' "It's Not for Me to Say," incorporating midcentury jazz and soul crooning into their endearing retro-kitsch. The combination is charming".
