==Reception== {{Album ratings | rev1 = [[Allmusic]] | rev1Score = {{rating|2|5}}<ref name="Allmusic"/> }} [[Scott Yanow]] of [[Allmusic]] states, "this sleepy affair with a European string section is unremittingly dull... the arrangements for the 15 strings, five horns and rhythm section are quite boring. There are many rewarding Art Farmer dates currently available, so skip this misfire".<ref name="Allmusic">Yanow, S., [http://www.allmusic.com/album/gentle-eyes-mw0000273480 Allmusic Review] accessed August 5, 2014</ref>
