At one point in 1990, two Harry Connick, Jr. albums were released almost simultaneously, an instrumental outing with his trio (Lofty's Roach Souffle) and this vocal-oriented album. Oddly enough We Are in Love is the more successful of the two. Connick's vocals, while limited, are personable, guitarist Russell Malone gets in some short solos and Branford Marsalis makes two strong guest appearances (one apiece on tenor and soprano). Most selections utilize an orchestra and, although Connick is heard on piano, the emphasis is on his voice. He contributed most of the tunes but the high points are the two standards "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and "It's Alright with Me." ~ Scott Yanow With his earnest, romantic renditions of Tin Pan Alley standards and a host of Connick originals composed in that vein, WE ARE IN LOVE put Harry Connick, Jr. over the top as a popular artist. Connick's mentholated vocals are most often compared to Sinatra, but you can also hear the influence of Mel Torme, Chet Baker, Mose Allison and Bobby Dorough, among others. Ultimately though, Connick puts his own stylistic stamp on each selection, with his cool, behind-the-beat phrasing and easygoing swing.
