"My Funny Valentine" is the Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart standard as Etta James sang it on Time After Time, her nineteenth studio album, which came out in 1995. The whole record was given over to vocal jazz standards, a dozen of them, and it climbed to number five on Billboard's Top Jazz Albums chart.
Critics heard a singer who had lived with these songs a long while: AllMusic's Steve Leggett found the set "graceful and uptown" and her singing "hauntingly beautiful", while Allen Howie of Louisville Music News praised the earthy elegance she brought to the material.
