Review

An acceptable budget-priced introduction to the brilliance of Stan Getz, Ballads and Bossa Nova splits pretty evenly between the two, with readings of standards like "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" and "Skylark" alongside "E Precisio Perdoar" and "Ligia." ~ Raymond McKinney, All Music Guide
