    The Capitol Studio Sessions could have very easily been a one-off vanity project, but with I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This, Goldblum once again proves that the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra is one more way he can charm us all.

    I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This is imbued with the charisma of its creator; it’s a playful and inviting album whose first half zips through the mostly vocal-led numbers with ease and sprightly energy. ... Remarkable singers give rich layers to this accomplished album.

    It's an album that can be enjoyed by both aficionados and inquisitive newcomers to jazz and, rather like Goldblum himself, it's as effortlessly smooth as a freshly buttered banister.

    Goldblum sounds good, and his fans probably wouldn't mind hearing more of him and less of his friends.

    Sounds reassuringly expensive. ... Decent instrumental takes on Lao Schifrin's The Cat plus Fiona Apple's elegant Don't Worry 'Bout Me make this more than the stocking-filler that won't unnerve Aunt Norah. [Jan 2020, p.90]
