Harry Connick Jr. has a rare gift for summoning the style of classic 1940s saloon singing, hinting at Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and especially Dick Haymes, without engaging in actual impersonation. What's more uncanny still is his songwriting, an idiomatic command of the standards that often summons some of the rhythmic ease of Gershwin, the tunefulness of Jerome Kern, and the wit of Cole Porter. Both his singing and songwriting talents are evident on this CD, recorded in 1990 when Connick was just 22. Its emphasis is squarely on the subject of love, both on the ballads and some harder swinging tunes, and Connick's voice shines on original songs and the standards "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and Porter's "It's All Right with Me." Connick's voice and piano are ably supported by bassist Ben Wolfe, drummer Shannon Powell, and a string section, while there are some good jazz solos by regular associate Russell Malone on guitar and guest Branford Marsalis on tenor and soprano saxophones. --Adam Rains

We Are In Love-Harry Connick Jr. March 30, 2000
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I am in love with this wonderful album. I have owned this particular work for 7 years, and it is still just as wonderful as the day I received it. Each piece, rather it is slow or upbeat, has a timeless appeal. Harry Connick Jr. has mastered the ability to capture a feeling with words.

I think this is my favorite because it was my first HCJ purchase. I played it so much it fell apart. A modern but smooth voice manages to escape those somewhat over-sized and clumsy lips, and still, he remains enchantlingly charming and reachable! And then there's his piano playing, and what he can act too?
I love the songs on this CD, my favorites being A Nightingale Sang In Berkely Square and We Are in Love. His voice and demeanor never fail to cheer me. For anyone who likes standards and jazz, this is a great CD.

This album to me is just amazing. This album followed the success from his album for the motion picture "When Harry Met Sally" which i also suggest purchasing if not already purchased. This album has many of my favorites which im sure youll like. Harry has such a knack for singing his voice is so natural, it brings you to relax and think of some ofthe past singers like dean martin, sammy davis jr, frank sinatra tony bennet, and so on. He just sings from the heart. Spotlight songs on this album include "We are in Love" which has an incredible beat and is very uniquely sung. "A Nightengale sang in Berkley Spuare" is another one with a great tune and just fun to listen to. The whole album is great i give it my highest recommendation. This album surely is a must have.
Simply Mad about Harry June 20, 1998

The first time I saw or heard Harry was on a television special. I was so taken by his velvet voice and bigband style that I fell instantly in love. I was in highschool, and I suppose I was just like those teenage girls who swooned over Frank Sinatra way back when. I bought the album, after quite a bit of searching, and was blown away. "We are in Love" was my first taste of big band jazz music, and my first taste of Harry. He showed me a new genre of music that I've come to love. Thankyou Harry, when it comes to you.. I AM in love.
I love this CD. It has always been one of my favorites!! June 26, 1999

My mom used to listen to this CD when I was little and I never really liked it, but later when I started to fall in love with jazz it became one of my favorites. I love Harry Connick Jr.'s style, voice, and music selection, and could listen to him forever. I especially like "I'll Dream of You Again," and "It's All Right With Me."
