The most significant aspect of this album, first released as Chet - "The Lyrical Trumpet of Chet Baker", is the interaction between Chet Baker and Bill Evans, two perennial jazz stars who had rarely recorded together. At the time of this album's creation, Chet was known for both his singing and his trumpet playing. However, this LP is entirely instrumental and consists of nine ballads performed in styles ranging from hard bop to cool jazz. The rhythm section of Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones were working in Miles Davis' regular group at the time. All Music Guide critic Dave Nathan gave the album a four-star rating, stating that "this is a good album to hear Baker's particular way with the horn, and it's made even more attractive by the presence and contributions of top jazz artists."
