Burt Bacharach - "At This Time"

Is it good?
I heard bits of it (on amazon for example) and read countless of reviews (very mixed) and I´m still not sure if I should check it out. You know, I´m a big fan of "symphonic pop" with strings and horns and all that stuff, and "At This Time" seems to fit into this genre, but I´m not sure if I would like Burt´s vocals.
So, what´s your opinion?

Burt Bacharach's vocals are something to be feared.

I'm afraid the same goes for the record, imo.

I dig this record. It takes the"classic" Bacharach sound, and makes it sound retro contemporary, lots of analog-sounding synths, drum loops from Dr. Dre. Its good to see a pop genius sound relevant with something like that, and not cringe-worthy or gimmicky. As far as vocals, its none too bad,and its not like Burt sings on every song, theres Elvis Costello and Rufus Wainwright among others on there as well.
