アストラッド・ジルベルトのカタログ、そしてボサ・ノヴァのカノンの宝石のひとつである1966年作品。
アレンジャーのギル・エヴァンスとプロデューサーのクリード・テイラーと組んだオーケストラのバックは、特にタイトル曲と甘いバラード「I Will Wait For You」で、アストラッドのささやくような控えめな歌声を完璧に引き立てている。
〈パーソネル〉 Astrud Gilberto(vo) Gill Evans(arr, cond) Al Cohn(arr, cond, ts) Johnny Coles(tp) Bob Brookmeyer(tb) Kenny Burrell(g) Grady Tate(ds) etc

This was a beautiful bossa nova record of Astrud Gilberto's vocal stylings...All the material (32:13) here, with the exception of "Learn to Live Alone" and "Pretty Place," which were arranged by Al Cohn, were arranged by Gil Evans. With the exception of a Johnny Coles trumpet solo, the personnel was uncredited on this 1966 recording. Discographies have credited Bob Brookmeyer (valve trombone), Kenny Burrell (guitar), and Grady Tate (drums), but except for a few bars of sax, there was no solo indivdualism in this large Creed Taylor-produced orchestra. ~ Bob Rusch, Cadence
