The Late, Late Show is the debut album of American jazz singer Dakota Staton.

AllMusic critic Scott Yanow awarded the album with four and a half stars out of five, saying: "Singer Dakota Staton's first full-length album was one of her best.

She had a hit with "The Late, Late Show" and performed memorable versions of "Broadway," "A Foggy Day," "What Do You See in Her," "My Funny Valentine" and "Moon Ray."

Backed by a largely unidentified orchestra arranged by Van Alexander (with Hank Jones on piano), Staton sounds both youthful and mature, displaying a highly appealing voice on a near-classic set.

"In terms of chart performance, The Late, Late Show peaked at #4 in the U.S., an unusual feat at a time when jazz records enjoyed more moderate chart action.
