Latin Lace is one of a number of themed recordings with deliberately sexualised album covers that Shearing and his quintet produced in the 1950s; in his 2005 autobiography Lullaby of Birdland, Shearing recalled that the liner notes for the album implored the listener to "add a little spice into your pad with these twelve hot little numbers!".[3]

Allmusic |     [2] |
Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and awarded it three stars, commenting that "The second of pianist George Shearing's full-length Latin albums once again finds his quintet...being joined by the exciting congas of Armando Peraza Most of the easy-listening melodies are from south of the border, but even the ones that aren't (such as "The Story of Love," "The Moon Was Yellow" and "It's Not for Me to Say") are given a Latinized treatment. This is nice (if rather safe) music...".[2]
Latin Lace and Shearing's 1959 album Latin Affair were featured in Tom Moon's 2008 book 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die.[4]
