It was also popularized by Sinatra's second version as a charting single in 1961.Sinatra! the Song is You: A Singer's Art - Page 180 068419368X Will Friedwald - 1995 "Best of all, Sinatra joyously milks a libretto that funnily and punnily compares girls to flowers. "American Beauty Rose" charted, but hardly high enough to reverse the trend of steadily worsening sales for Sinatra discs that had already started." The song was included on his 'Come Swing with Me!' LP, as the B-side to "Sentimental Journey".
Composer and critic Alec Wilder mentioned the song in passing in his book 'American Popular Song: The Great Innovators, 19001950', noting that "Sinatra could make every song but "Jealous Lover" and "American Beauty Rose" sound reputable."
