Moore also did all the arrangements for the album, which was recorded at CBS Studios, Whitfield Street, London on September 12,13 \u0026amp; 14 1977 - except for one song \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSpring Will Be a Little Late This Year\u003c\/span\u003e which was recorded at United Western Recorders, Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood on January 19, 1976. This song was also produced by Ken Barnes and arranged by Pete Moore. The album entered the UK album charts in December 1977 and remained there for seven weeks with a peak position of No. 25. Variety commented: \"If it were merely that this is the last recording Bing Crosby ever made, it would be more than enough reason to run and buy it. But it also happens to be a marvelous representation of the later Crosby years.\" Billboard reviewed it and said: \"This album is billed as the last commercial recording by the beloved crooner, who died one month after recording these tracks. This is a concept album in that it contains 12 songs which either deal with a specific time of the year or more generally on the passing of time.
