Review from AllMusic (by Bob Rusch):
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 individualism in this large Creed Taylor-produced orchestra.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Bob Rusch):
Este fue un hermoso disco de bossa nova con los estilos vocales de Astrud Gilberto... Todo el material (32:13) aquí, con excepción de "Learn to Live Alone" y "Pretty Place," que fueron arreglados por Al Cohn, fueron arreglados por Gil Evans. Con excepción de un solo de trompeta de Johnny Coles, el personal no fue acreditado en esta grabación de 1966. Las discografías han acreditado a Bob Brookmeyer (trombón de válvulas), Kenny Burrell (guitarra) y Grady Tate (batería), pero excepto por unos pocos compases de saxofón, no hubo individualismo solista en esta gran orquesta producida por Creed Taylor.
