"(Love Is) The Tender Trap" is a popular song composed by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Sammy Cahn.
It was written for the 1955 film The Tender Trap, where it was introduced by Debbie Reynolds and Frank Sinatra, who each sing the song separately. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, but lost to "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing" from the film of the same name.
A version by Frank Sinatra became a major hit in the United Kingdom, peaking at no. 2 in February 1956. It reached no. 7 in the US charts.

Love Is...The Tender Trap is a 1999 studio album by Stacey Kent.
Kent's second studio album, it was produced by and features her husband, tenor saxophonist Jim Tomlinson. In an interview with Billboard magazine to promote the album Kent said that "Even when I'm singing of unrequited love, it may not reflect my life, but the quality of the song allows me to deliver it truthfully".




Reception



Scott Yanow, writing for AllMusic, thought that Kent "has an attractive voice and a lightly swinging style." He added that she "uplifts each of the familiar tunes slightly but does not add much of herself to the material," and concluded by remarking on her future potential.
