Juno-winning, Grammy-nominated Canadian warbler, Michael Bublé, has had critics tripping over themselves to claim him as a latter-day Frank Sinatra. But aren't such accolades rendered superfluous when wheeled out more regularly than a Starbucks frappucino (which Bublé helped the drinks company advertise back in 2005)?

Jamie Cullum, Peter Cincotti and Harry Connick Jr. are just some of the contemporary crooners who've been branded with the neo-Sinatra stamp, a label that suggests not only a signature singing style and a nostalgic temperament, but also - at worst - an utter lack of originality.

To be fair to Bublé, his albums to date - 2003's Michael Bublé and 2005's *It's Time *- show he can hold a tune. Comprised mainly of covers, these collections successfully promote a charming, even chivalrous personality, with a frictionless voice capable of churning out pop classics, torch songs, sentimental ballads and upbeat Latino tunes to order.

*Call Me Irresponsible *continues in much the same vein, though the crisp finger-snaps and swinging arrangements of opener 'The Best Is Yet To Come,' immediately suggests this third studio album might be punchier than its predecessors.

The infectious joie de vivre of tunes like 'It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera)' and Mel Torme's 'Coming Home Baby,' (which features background harmonics from Boyz II Men) indeed find Bublé at his very best. You can almost imagine him in the studio - tie loosened, suit-sleeves rolled up, tiny pools of perspiration building on his forehead - as he lets fly.

His version of 'Me & Mrs Jones' is a subtler affair, though still engaging, while Leonard Cohen's pathos-infused 'I'm Your Man' gets a very reasonable rethink, complete with tension-building pauses and shimmering, Mancini-style strings.

It's the slower, schmaltzy songs that get the album into trouble.

The bossa-esque version of Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight' and the cover of Presley's 'Always On My Mind' are unforgivably mawkish; his own songs - 'Everything,' with its pseudo-Latin rhythm and 'Island-In-The-Stream' style verses, and the lachrymose 'Lost' - are only slightly more convincing.

The perky big band groove of 'I've Got The World On A String' and the Gospel-backed, bluesy 'That's Life' help prevent the album sliding into total coffee-shop pop.

Call Me Irresponsible Special Edition Review

Bublé hasn't reinvented the wheel here, but his choice of covers is astute and he has an undeniable way with a song. Pop pioneer he ain't; but he does perhaps deserve a little more credit than being a 'Sinatra clone'.

Review by Matt Collar

More than any of his contemporaries, vocalist Michael Bublé has bridged the gap between standards-oriented vocal pop and more contemporary pop vocals. Having perfected the mix on his superb 2003 effort, It's Time, which found the Frank Sinatra-influenced singer covering both 'I've Got You Under My Skin' and Leon Russell's R&B ballad 'A Song for You,' Bublé wisely doesn't mess with a good thing on 2007's Call Me Irresponsible. Once again delving into a mix of swinging big-band numbers and classic pop hits such as the wickedly hip '60s standard 'Comin' Home Baby' (featuring backing vocals from Boyz II Men), the album is a breezy, stylish good time. And while such cuts as 'The Best Is Yet to Come' and the laid-back title track comfortably cast Bublé as a modern-day crooner consistent with his billing, the unexpected reworkings of contemporary pop songs often make the biggest impact. To these ends, his bossa nova duet with vocalist Ivan Lins on Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight' and the reharmonized Willie Nelson perennial 'Always on My Mind' work particularly well here, not as cheeky cabaret but as artfully crafted and devastatingly moving ballads. And it's not just the cover tunes that drive the album; on the contrary, much like the Bublé co-written ballad 'Home' defined the mood of It's Time, his sparkling melodic pop original 'Everything' helps make Call Me Irresponsible a truly welcome pop album by any standard. This CD was nominated for a Grammy award in 2007 as Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, and 'Everything' was nominated for Best Male Pop Performance.
