Love Scenes is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer Diana Krall, released on August 26, 1997, by Impulse! Records.
Reception Mary Kunz of The Buffalo News wrote, "This is a quiet recording, smooth and almost too uniform in texture. Krall's piano is silky and subdued, and she tends to yield most of the instrumental spotlight to her exquisite sidemen – guitarist Russell Malone and bassist Christian McBride. She keeps a lid on passion."
DownBeat reviewer Jim Macnie assigned the album 4 stars. He wrote, "By banking on nuance, Krall and company make a major statement". The issue also featured the release in "The Hot Box" feature, in which 3 additional critics assigned ratings. John McDonough and John Corbett each assigned 3 stars and critic John Ephland assigned 4 stars.
