The album was released in several formats: as a set of four 10-inch 78-rpm phonograph records (cat. no. C-308), a set of four 7-inch 45-rpm records (cat. no. B-308) and as a 10-inch LP (cat. no. CL 6217).
The album reached number one on Billboards Best-Selling Pop Albums chart â both on the 33â Â-rpm and 45-rpm halves of it.
In 1954, the album was released on a 12-inch LP (cat. no. CL 575). Billboard described the LP as follows: "Our boy doesn't chatter or sing on this diskâÂÂjust plays his usual flashy pianistics, backed by brother George's ork. The 12 selections range from 'Moonlight Sonata' and 'The Rosary' to the 'Maiden's Wish Samba' and 'As Time Goes By'. As usual, it's a shrewd hodgepodge of classics and standards, designed to please all his fans, whatever their musical tastes" and gave it 86 points out of 100 (which indicated an "excellent" rating).
