“It Could Happen to You, and the Riverside records that followed, produced by Keepnews once he had got over his irritation at Grauer’s signing, find Chet in a tough New York mode, still essentially wedded to the Broadway songbook, but showing a strong awareness of the new modal movement which was being spearheaded by his putative rival Miles Davis and others.”- Penguin Jazz to Jazz

“What is it that made an album composed of standards heard a thousand times – such as “The More I See You” and “I’m Old Fashioned” – one of the most successful of its kind? The answer lies without any doubt in the sound of the graceful quartet that Chet Baker formed with his companions: “Philly” Joe Jones and Dannie Richmond alternating on drums, George Morrow and Sam Jones alternating on bass, and Kenny Drew at his peak on piano.”. - Jazz Magazine
