Bob Dylan has released Fallen Angels, his second album of standards.

The album features compositions by Tin Pan Alley composers Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Carmichael, Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen and others.

"For whippersnappers, Fallen Angels is a reminder that great poetry and complex emotions existed in American song well before 1962," writes the AV Club in its review of the LP.

Entertainment Weekly wrote, "Dylan alights on these words [the lyrics] with a wry delicacy.

His voice may be husky and damaged from decades of performing, but there's beauty to its character.

Tellingly, he delivers these songs of love lost and cherished not with a burning passion but with the wistfulness of experience."

Fallen Angels follows Shadows in the Night, Dylan's previous collection of standards.
