Reception

Christopher Loudon of Jazz Times stated "Its release timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Chet Baker’s death, Eliane Elias’ I Thought About You is the most satisfying of the many Baker tributes that have surfaced of late, because the Brazilian pianist and vocalist so keenly appreciates a key shared attribute. Like the perennially misunderstood Baker, wrongfully pegged as a tragedian, Elias is first and foremost a sensualist".[7] Matt Collar of Allmusic wrote "Pianist and vocalist Eliane Elias pays tribute to legendary jazz trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker on her 2013 album I Thought About You. Featuring a selection of standards strongly associated with Baker, Elias mixes her native Brazilian bossa nova with swing, straight-ahead jazz, and even a few bluesy flourishes with much aplomb. "[1] Jeff Simon of The Buffalo News commented, "Her slow sinuous version of Neal Hefti’s “Girl Talk” is among the many jazz versions which will never begin to equal Ray Bryant's, but it's hard not to love it anyway."[3]
