Allmusic.com gave Moon River & Other Great Movie Themes a 4 star review:
The singles chart hit versions of composer Henry Mancini and lyricist Johnny Mercer’s “Moon River,” the theme song for the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, were by Jerry Butler and by Mancini himself. But Andy Williams made his own claim to the song by using it as the title to this LP of movie themes, which, not coincidentally, was released in the week before Williams was scheduled to sing “Moon River” at the 1962 Academy Awards ceremony. He does a masterful version with the song, and also does well with the rest of the songs…. Notwithstanding the earlier hit single versions by others, “Moon River” became Williams’ signature song for the rest of his career.)
