Amazon.com
This is not the typical example of an artist from another genre jumping on the crowded standards-and-ballads bandwagon. When I Fall in Love instead represents an instrumental stylist busting out of a box to find a much more suitable platform for his craft. These tracks are the fruits of an obvious labor of love for everyone from the featured musicians to the arrangers to the engineers. The arrangers, particularly Billy Childs and Gil Goldstein, give Botti's trumpet a broad-brushed orchestral backdrop that allows him to emerge from the swirling strings and bouncy horns with bold strokes of creative improvising. Some tracks are obvious nods to Gil Evans and the lush arrangements of 1970s CTI recordings. Even the guest vocalists, Sting and Paula Cole, let his trumpet sing first before their respective cues on "La Belle Dame Sans Regrets" and "What'll I Do." The only blemish here is the obvious attempt at smooth jazz airplay with Sade's "No Ordinary Love." --Mark Ruffin

 Romantic and dreamy October 31, 2008
Romantic, relaxing, dreamy, sexy. Time to Say Goodbye and When I Fall in Love are amazing!
Miraculously healing music.... July 11, 2008
I have never heard "No Ordinary Love" played with such overwhelming charm. All tracks are wonderful, but "LA BELLE DAME SANS REGRETS" is my favorite, Sting's voice along with Chris Botti's playing was enchanting.
An artist like Botti doesn't need pictures of a beautiful woman with a fake mesmerized look on the cover of his album, but with an outstanding performance like that, some shallowness should be forgiven.
I have "fallen in love" with Chris Botti June 19, 2008
I had always heard Chris Botti on the Smooth Jazz station here in Fort Worth, but it wasn't until I watched his special "Chris Botti and Friends" on PBS that I was totally hooked. I went to Amazon to purchase the DVD and started listening to samples of his other albums. "When I Fall in Love" was and still is the best one yet. I went ahead and ordered it. And to make the entire experience even better, it took less than 3 days for my order to arrive in better than "like new" condition. The CD is great. The ordering process is great. The entire experience was fabulous. This was not my first time using Amazon.com and after this, it surely will not be my last. Amazon makes it easy to navigate from item to item and their "Listen to Sample" feature is wonderful.
 Chris Botti with some beautiful standards. June 14, 2008
Nice mellow tracks. Chris Botti plays these old standards beautifully.
Restrained but very nice with some subtle reinterpretations.
Great if you like old standards. My favourites - When I fall in Love & Someone to Watch over Me.
A truly beautiful album... May 24, 2008
A truly beautiful album for any jazz lover with a romantic persona and an appreciation for the subtlety of classic standards performed by a passionate artist. I have only listened to the album a few times, but I am most impressed - it is my first Botti CD - and the first of many. All I can say is...smooth...
