Allmusic.com gave Chris Connor Sings Ballads of the Sad Cafe a 4 star review:
Chris Connor uses several different musical settings for this album of torch songs, but the main distinction is between the arrangements that employ strings, such as “The End of a Love Affair,” and those that use horns, such as “Bargain Day.” The backgrounds color Connor’s vocal interpretations, and she often interacts with the musicians, notably with flautist Eddy Jaspar in “These Foolish Things,” a virtual duet.
