As the talented performer he is, Bennett sings the words, "fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars," with an effortless class. Many of those who watched the video from home had positive words regarding Bennett's performance, such as:

“This man turns 94 in August of this year and still has a richer voice than many younger singers. The real deal, very classy."

Other commenters continued to praise Tony Bennett for his incredible voice:

“Gives me chills, 92 years old and still belting out notes like he’s 25, Tony is a great inspiration to show when there’s a will there’s a way.”

Another fan weighed-in:

“I don’t think any singer has ever held up so well as him – by this time (or well before) most of even the greatest singers’ voices have faded, a shadow of their former selves – from Sinatra to McCartney we’ve seen it many times and there’s no shame in it, it’s just old age and life – but this guy still has it. he doesn’t just sound 'good for his age' – he sounds damn good, period. God love ya Tony and thanks for this.”
