Warm, by Johnny Mathish, as with his previous LP, Wonderful Wonderful, does not include any of his hit singles but instead focuses primarily on his interpretations of romantic ballads that were already hits for other artists. Two new songs made the final cut, however: the title track and The Lovely Things You Do. The album made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's list of the 25 Best-Selling Pop LPs in the US in its December 23, 1957, issue and remained on the chart for 113 weeks, four of which were spent at No. 2. It was the first Johnny Mathis album to chart in the UK, peaking at No. 6 in November 1958, and received Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of 500,000 copies in the US on May 5, 1960. The album was initially released in the monaural format but became available in stereo in 1958.
