From the liner notes by WNEW's Bob Jones: "Appropriately, Marlene dedicates this album to her friend Alec Wilder. Mr. Wilder, after all, in his book, The American Popular Song (written with James T. Maher), caused a lot of us to start thinking about this vast musical treasury the world possesses because of American writers of words and music. We are beginning to see some wonderful products of those thoughts. 'South to a Warmer Place' is Alec Wilder's last song. The words are by Loonis McGlohon, himself a busy recording artist on this label."

"I hold the opinion that each of these performances is lustrous, none more so than the exceptional treatment Marlene gives Arthur Schwartz and Yip Harburg's 'Then I'll Be Tired of You.' This, I think, is a song that has everything, and I believe that its time has come again."
