Release history
This is not to be confused with the two earlier albums of the same name. An album was released in 1940 called Favorite Hawaiian Songs. By 1946, Crosby had recorded four more Hawaiian songs and Dick McIntire's Harmony Hawaiians recorded two more. Decca hadn't used "Paradise Isle" and "Aloha Kuu Ipo Aloha", on Decca 3797, in an album yet - so, the first album, consisting of twelve songs - along with those eight more unused songs, (twenty songs on ten 78 rpm records) was split into two 5-disc (10 song) 78 rpm albums of the same name - Volume Two and this album.

Reception
The reviewer for Billboard commented, inter alia:
Track listing
These previously issued songs were featured on a 5-disc, 78 rpm album set, Decca Album No. A-460.
LP track listing
The 1949 10" LP album issue Decca DL 5122 consisted of eight songs on one 33 1/3 rpm record. Due to the limitations of a 10" LP, the last disc, containing "Aloha Kuu Ipo Aloha" and "Paradise Isle" was left out.
Other releases
Decca DL 5122 was also released in 1950 on four 45 rpm discs on a set numbered 9-141.
