One DeBaser review examines a Popcorn compilation of fourteen soundtrack tracks sung by Marilyn Monroe, noting jazz arrangements and themes of love and nostalgia. The reviewer praises some tracks (mentions "I’m through with love" as a favorite) but emphasizes the contrast between Monroe's public image and private sadness. The review gives the compilation a 3/5.
