Helen Merrill with Strings is the second album by Helen Merrill, featuring Merrill fronting a quartet augmented by a string section arranged by Richard Hayman, recorded in 1955 and released on the EmArcy label.
The Allmusic review by Richard Mortifoglio called the album "an unmitigated artistic success. The strings are tastefully scored, the songs are classics or soon to be, and Merrill's delivery is by turns emotional, haunting, and highly musical".
