Orfeu is an album by bassist Ron Carter recorded in 1999 and originally released on the Japanese Somethin' Else label with a US release on Blue Note Records.

[1] The AllMusic review by David R. Adler said, "This record could have been merely one more Latin-themed album by an American jazz musician.

But creative production choices and fantastic musicianship make it artistically solid and uncommonly beautiful".

[2] In JazzTimes, Owen Cordle stated "The group mixes the melodic side of jazz improvisation with the subtle insinuation of the various supporting rhythms ...This is one of his better albums as a leader".

[4] On All About Jazz, Jim Santella wrote "Highly recommended, Ron Carter's Orfeu combines mainstream jazz with lyrical Brazilian charm for an outstanding session".
