Oscar Peterson Plays the Irving Berlin Songbook Oscar Peterson of the music of Irving Berlin .[ 2] [ 3]
Billboard [ 3] Billboard described the album as "inventive and listenable thruout".[ 3]
Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that due to Peterson and his trio recording nine albums in a month, " ... not much planning went into the individual songs" and that the subsequent interpretations were "fairly melodic and safe, if swinging. Nothing unexpected occurs, but the music is reasonably pleasing, if lacking in emotional depth". Yanow also noted that the album contained "one of the happier versions ... yet recorded" of Berlin's "Supper Time ", a song about a lynching .[ 2]
