1986 Original With Custom Inner Sleeve. Features The Nelson Riddle Orchestra. "For Sentimental Reasons" is a collaborative album by singer Linda Ronstadt and conductor/arranger Nelson Riddle, released in 1986 by Asylum Records. The album features classic songs from the Great American Songbook, including "For Sentimental Reasons," "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," and "I've Got a Crush on You."

The collaboration between Ronstadt and Riddle began in 1983, when Riddle conducted the orchestra for Ronstadt's Grammy-winning album "What's New." The success of that album led to a follow-up collaboration, "Lush Life," which was also a critical and commercial success.

"For Sentimental Reasons" was the final album in the Ronstadt-Riddle collaboration, as Riddle passed away in 1985. The album received positive reviews and reached No. 46 on the Billboard 200 chart. It was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance.

The album remains a beloved favorite among Ronstadt fans, and is considered a highlight of her career. Its success helped to revive interest in classic American popular music, and inspired other artists to explore the genre as well.
