This Dream of You is the fifteenth studio album by Canadian singer Diana Krall, released on September 25, 2020, by Verve Records.[1] The album spawned two singles released in August 2020.

Background

The album is named after Krall's rendition of the Bob Dylan song from his album Together Through Life (2009).[2] The release is a collection of Krall's scores of studio recordings that she performed with her longtime producer Tommy LiPuma before his death in 2017. The dozen tracks were selected from over 30 recordings that the pair had laid down.[3] The album was finished in May 2020 and produced by Krall herself.[1] The "Autumn in New York" video was created to raise awareness for New York Cares, the largest volunteer organization in New York City founded in 1987.[4]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 71, based on four reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[5]

Turn Up The Quiet contained the very best of Krall's sessions in the years before Lipuma passed away, This Dream of You [...], presenting the also-rans, is quite simply not as good... This disappointing album feels like quite the wrong way to be setting the seal on the Krall/LiPuma years. It is to be hoped that she can and will bounce back from it."[8] Glide Magazine's Jim Hynes mentioned, "As one who has many Krall albums, this will undoubtedly satisfy her listeners who came aboard as she was building her career playing standards and those who enjoyed her past two efforts. This Dream of You is a solid entry, though surely not the strongest in her storied catalog."[15]

Lee Zimmerman of American Songwriter observed, "Credit Diana Krall with doing what she does best on her sumptuous new album, This Dream of You, a collection of (mostly) classic covers rendered in her distinctive signature sensual style. All hushed smoky vocals, subtle orchestration and arrangements and, of course, her exquisite and articulate piano playing, it shares its nocturnal ambiance and late night caress in an intimate but expressive manner, one that would befit a supper club setting."[7] Steve Futterman, in his review for The New Yorker, wrote, "Diana Krall's new album is a waiting game. For much of its length, the understated singer offers up congenial readings of Great American Songbook warhorses, relying on the fixed intimacy of her trademark breathy and oh-so-careful vocal style."[16]
