A version of "Have You Met Miss Jones" was recorded by Frank Sinatra. It was also covered by Scatman John. It was later recorded for the soundtrack of the film Bridget Jones's Diary by Robbie Williams. The song is included in Williams's album, Swing When You're Winning.[2]

The song's bridge, featuring key motion by major thirds, may have served as an inspiration to John Coltrane in the development of "Coltrane changes."[3]
