5/5 Classic album
  by Virgilio Cruz (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil)
This an important album of the contemporary musical scene. All the songs are excellent and very beautiful, but Moon River is a special jewel in the world music history. Recommended for all music lovers.

1/5 There are only 12 tracks on this $36.00 CD, not 24
  by L. Kocsis
I have always loved the Breakfast at Tiffany's soundtrack, and I have had it on vinyl for years. I wanted to get a CD copy so I could listen to it on my iPod, and I was really excited about getting this version of the CD because the track list says it has the whole Breakfast at Tiffany's soundtrack as well as one for Arabesque, with a whopping 24 songs.

Well, the CD actually only has the 11 original soundtrack songs for B at T's, plus one bonus song. The remaining songs are nowhere to be seen or heard. I didn't mind paying extra for this because I thought I was getting two albums on one CD. I really like the paper cover and I didn't want to create more waste and use more resources by mailing the CD back to Amazon, so I just kept it.

3/5 Surprisingly Swinging
  by hankaaron (Austin, TX. United States)
Having never been a fan of Mancini ("A Shot in the Dark" was the only Mancini tune I liked), I was surprised how some of the songs really work for me.

I still can not stand to hear "Moon River", but "Something for the Cat" and especially "Sally's Tomato" are top craft arrangements. "Loose Caboose" is another favorite. Listening to these three songs gave me a thought I never had before. And that is that Mancini has had a huge impact on Quincy Jones. Jones swingin big band style obviously was influenced by Mancini.

3/5 Good! Walking over other styles
  by Lorenzo Berendsen
"Moon River" is a classical soft music. This album is very listening and relaxing, and for my suprise, also intersting. Manccini had made using cha-cha-cha, jazz, shuffle and a very, very soft rock'n roll. Very good!

5/5 Best soundtrack I've heard, especially if you like 1950's swing and jazz
  by musicgirl
Great soundtrack, though very hard to find. Henry Mancini does a great job with the orchestra, I can almost see Mr.Yomioshi peeking out of his door, or Holly singing with her guitar in her windowsill. Perfect for background music when entertaining, and also when you want to relax and enjoy the music of the 1950's.

Breakfast At Tiffany's: Music From The Motion Picture Score Summary When You Think Of Henry Mancini, You Inevitably Think Of Either "peter Gunn" Or "moon River." (well, Maybe "the Pink Panther"--but That Became A Cartoon Show, So It Doesn't Count!) breakfast At Tiffany's Gave The World The Latter Tune, And That Beautiful Melody Recurs Throughout This Soundtrack Lp, Which Remained No. 1 On The Billboard Pop Charts For 12 Weeks In 1961. (music For Peter Gunn In 1959 Was Mancini's Only Other No. 1 Album.) The Soundtrack Doesn't Include Andy Williams's Hit Single Of "moon River," But Then Neither Did The Film. It Does, However, Take You Through The Many Moods Of The Film (and The Exploits Of Miss Holly Golightly), With An Emphasis On Latin Influences In The Forms Of "latin Golightly" And "moon River Cha Cha." Nevertheless, One Common Complaint Has Been That Rca Could've Remastered The Music And Added Additional Tracks To Flesh Out The Cd. Maybe In The Future... --bill Holdship
