Tony Bennett got a #70 hit out of the title track, a warm ballad written by Gordon Jenkins, and elsewhere he turned to old standbys like Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh, pulling another song from their show Little Me, in this case "On The Other Side Of The Tracks" ("I've Got Your Number" had appeared on I Wanna Be Around), and included a drum track, "Tricks," with Chico Hamilton.
If you hadn't heard Bennett's previous two albums, I Left My Heart In San Francisco and I Wanna Be Around, This Is All I Ask would sound like a varied, satisfying collection, but if you had, you recognized the formula and realized it had been done slightly better before.
