My Romance is the 14th studio album by American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released by Arista Records, on March 13, 1990.
The album is Simon's second devoted to standards, following Torch from nine years earlier. It peaked at No. 46 on the Billboard 200, and remained on the chart for 17 weeks.[1] Simon's version of "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" from this album was featured in the 1993 Nora Ephron film Sleepless in Seattle, and was included on the film's soundtrack album.[2]
In a retrospective review for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann rated the album 3-out-of-5-stars, and wrote: "On her second album of pop standards, Carly Simon was a little less interested in the lovelorn songs that had filled 1981's Torch. For the most part, the theme was romantic, with classics like "My Funny Valentine" and "Bewitched" handled in Simon's sexy, plaintive style."
Credits adapted from the album's liner notes.[3]
This was Simon's second concert special for HBO, following Live from Martha's Vineyard from 1987.
