Doris Day's recording was made on June 5, 1952. The recording was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 39786. It was issued with the flip side "Take Me in Your Arms." It reached #20 on the Billboard chart.

A version recorded by Nat King Cole on December 28, 1956, though not issued as a single, is well-known. It was issued by Capitol Records on an LP album, Love Is the Thing, catalog number SW824.

A version by The Lettermen issued as a single in 1961 also became quite popular.

In the 1980s, pop singer Rick Astley scored a British top ten hit with it.

"When I Fall in Love" was also recorded by Céline Dion and Clive Griffin, and released as a single in 1993. It was featured in the Sleepless in Seattle movie.

An instrumental version of the song is played during the ballroom scene at the beginning of the film Eyes Wide Shut.
