Caribbean Moonlight is an album by Les Baxter. It was released in 1956 on Capitol Records.[1][2] In January 1957, it reached the No. 5 spot on Billboard magazine's "Pop Instrumentals" chart.[3]
AllMusic later gave the album a rating of four stars. Reviewer Jason Akeny wrote that "its melodies move with the hypnotic beauty and sway of moonbeams flickering across the water's surface, while its supple, exotic rhythms conjure a nearly mystical paradise of palm trees, sandy beaches, and cool breezes."[2]
