| Allmusic |   [1] |
Allmusic praised Remler's "musical integrity" and "the warm and lyrical nature of her playing."[1]
Jazz musician and critic Leonard Feather questioned how much of the album had been "shaped by [Remler's] arrangers or co-writers (David Benoit, Russ Freeman et al) and whether she really felt this was her finest hour." [2]
