Created, it would seem, as a special-occasion soundtrack for love-struck dreamers, the eighth career recording from Jim Brickman is a rewarding collection of eight instrumentals and four vocal tracks--one that will especially be appreciated by the pianist's longer-term fans. Beyond the sentimental excess of a couple of vocal tracks, the disc's affecting piano solos (most with minimal or no accompaniment) compare favorably with works found on Brickman's esteemed early-career releases, No Words, By Heart, and Picture This. At his best, Brickman composes touching, mentally engaging sonic essays that articulate the fragility and deeper complexities of interpersonal relations. He's working at a high level throughout Love Songs and Lullabies, shading his solo compositions with moods that shift subtly from reverence to romance to (as on the gems "Night Prayer" and "Safe and Sound") appreciative contemplation. On "Little Stars," Brickman revisits "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" (first explored on By Heart), intertwines it with "Rock-a-Bye Baby," and elevates the simple melodies into something regally refined. Noteworthy vocal tracks include a tender interpretation of 1 Corinthians 13 ("Love Never Fails," with Canadian vocalist Amy Sky) and "You," a gently upbeat charmer sung beautifully by Ally McBeal alumna Jane Krakowski (Elaine). Downside: The disc, released less than a year after Simple Things, has a run time of less than 38 minutes. Upside: Brickman's splendid piano solos more than compensate. --Terry Wood

My only exposure to Jim Brickman prior to this CD had been "The Gift", which I think is fantastic. I bought "Love Songs & Lullabies" as I anticipated the birth of our long-awaited first child, and it did not disappoint. Although I particularly enjoy the instrumentals, the song "Beautiful" spoke to me in a special way as I nursed my daughter and thought about what she meant to me. I still cry every time I hear it. I have many "lullabies" CDs, but this one far surpasses all.

I'm a great fan of Jim Brickman and I've nearly all his albums. This is one of his best work. I don't know how Jim Brickman does it but every song he writes is beautiful & gives you wonderful happy thoughts. Looking forward to his next album.

We purchased this for our infant to have music as she fell asleep, and two years later, this CD is still the only bedtime music she wants to hear.I'm not a big fan of his songs that contain lyrics -- there's no need for them when the piano playing is so excellent -- but it does provide some variety for those who do not wish to hear only instrumentals. Highly recommended!
you have to get this one! September 8, 2003

I just love Jim Brickman!!! He is such a talented pianist!!! I saw him in concert just last week and met him in person. He is such a nice person! Anyway enough of that. I just love this cd! Especially on the songs that Tracy Silverman joins him in on! It is so nice to hear music where people aren't always yelling or mad at somebody. And thank goodness you know that there is no profanity in his music. When I play his music I get so wrapped up in it I lose all sense of time. His music is also very thought provoking. When I hear it I tend to do alot of soul searching. As I play his cd's no matter how stressed out or mad at the world I am it brings me to another place. It brings me to a place of calm and I begin to unwind and let my cares drift away. I highly recomend this cd not just for the music but because it is a great way to handle stress. What more can I say? Buy it!!!
