Diana Krall's sixth studio album Love Of Love topped the Canadian Albums Chart after its release in 2001, and in 2002 it earned Al Schmitt a Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. It also received a Juno Award for Album of the Year in Canada.

Jim Santella of All About Jazz commented, "Lush strings and gliding flutes surround Diana Krall's tender vocals. Even her substantial piano interludes take on the appearance of drifting mists, through the mix of orchestral timbres. With an emphasis on her sultry vocal interpretations, the latest album reaches out to a broad, popular music audience. Nothing wrong with that. It's just that jazz fans usually want the improvised licks along with their melodies... By interpreting classic love songs, Krall's latest album turns toward romantic interests. The clutter of a large string orchestra, however, obscures the total picture." John Kreicbergs of PopMatters wrote, "Simply said, her piano chops are more than adequate to back up her incredible voice."
