From Billboard - June 12, 1965: Henry Mancini combines his talents as an orchestrator with his ability as an orchestra leader to come up with with smooth and sophisticated arrangements of such Latin standards as "Baia" and "Tico-Tico." He stays in the Mancini groove by letting the melody dominate and using special effects to enhance rather than obscure the tune.
