Reception

[edit]

The Allmusic review by Steve Huey states that Sweet Rain is "one of Stan Getz's all-time greatest albums," and "the quartet's level of musicianship remains high on every selection, and the marvelously consistent atmosphere the album evokes places it among Getz's very best. A surefire classic".[2]
