We Get Letters is a 1957 album by Perry Como, his second RCA Victor 12" long-play album.[2] The LP's concept is an album of requests from Como's television show, but forgoing the usual big-band sound of Mitchell Ayres' Orchestra and the Ray Charles Singers for a small group known as "Como's little Combo", with soft, breezy jazz arrangements by Joe Lipman.[3] The album was recorded between June 1956 and February 1957.

As with his first LP So Smooth, Como avoided the type of novelty songs he often recorded for single releases in favor of pop standards dating back to the 1920s and 30s.
