Jonathan Widran of AllMusic wrote that Diane Schuur has always been one of the greatest voices of modern jazz in the world, and her purity in this collection makes her performance the most artistic and at the same time accessible to date. A reviewer of Billboard magazine noted that by combining originals and standards, Schuur achieves mostly successful results, however, in rare cases when she tries to expand the possibilities of her jazz base, melodies are not always able to support her voluminous vocals. Cash Box magazine stated that, like Nancy Wilson, Schuur sings jazz, pop and rhythm and blues equally well, which she demonstrates on her latest disc.
