The albums pays homage to the songs of Frank Sinatra, by whom Mina has been greatly influenced.

The first 11 songs are accompanied by a small combo of jazz musicians, ending appropriately with "My Way", while the last 3 recordings are a sort of added bonus tracks, with orchestral strings arrangements by Gianni Ferrio.
