"Look Around" is the third album by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66, with vocalists Lani Hall and Janis Hansen. It was released in 1968. Mendes burst into mainstream prominence when he performed the Oscar-nominated Burt Bacharach/Hal David song "The Look of Love" on the Academy Awards telecast in March 1968. The song is featured on "Look Around". The album was recorded at the Sunset Sound, Western Recorders, and Annex Studios, Hollywood.

Brasil '66's version of "The Look of Love" quickly shot into the top 10, eclipsing Dusty Springfield's version.

A remastered version of the album was released on CD in 2000. [http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/product.aspx?ob=disc&src=art&pid=10556]
