"Carly Simon’s Torch is a gorgeous throwback to the Fifties and early Sixties, when pop music divas and crooners routinely released two or three albums a year, each record utilizing a full studio orchestra instead of session musicians. The typical pop LP of that era was a high-toned vocal showcase, with moody orchestrations that refined the romantic movie music of the time into an intimate background style [...] By blending old and new material, and by incorporating a hint of jazz-fusion music into a studio-orchestra sound, Simon and her producer, Mike Mainieri, begin to suggest a continuity between Fifties torch and Eighties pop."
- Rolling Stone
Torch is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's eleventh album, and tenth studio album, released in 1981.
It was Simon's first album devoted to standards, namely torch songs, relating unrequited love or rejection. The album also features one Simon original, "From the Heart". The album was recorded during her marriage break up to James Taylor, which was announced shortly after the release of the album.
