Somebody Loves Me is a 1960 album by Dinah Shore accompanied by an orchestra arranged and conducted by André Previn. The album was Shore's second recording for Capitol Records.[2]
Billboard magazine chose the album as one of its Spotlight Winners of the Week in their February 1, 1960 issue.[2]
described the album as having a "more subdued vein" than her previous album, Dinah, Yes Indeed! and that Previn's arrangements complimented her "pleasing vocals fully".[2]
William Ruhlmann reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "Working with sympathetic arrangements by conductor André Previn, [Shore] essayed a set of ballad standards for an album that ranked with the kind of LPs that Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat "King" Cole, Peggy Lee and Judy Garland were recording at Capitol at the same time. By now, with her TV stardom, her days as a major recording artist were behind her, which in retrospect is too bad, because albums like this should have raised her critical standing to a par with that of her label mates".
