Allmusic.com gave Speaking of Love: The Songs of Bobby Short a 4 star review:
Bobby Short’s third Atlantic Records album, Speaking of Love, is a concept collection in which romance is treated in an upbeat manner, in both the senses of mood and tempo. Backed by bass and drums, the pianist-singer addresses a series of show and Tin Pan Alley tunes, dating as far back as the early ’30s, in which love is celebrated. …Speaking of Love is an album for fans of sophisticated songwriting ready to hear the classics presented with affection and brio.
