Reception
In a positive retrospective review written for the CD release, AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow praises Dearie's voice, writing its "sincerity and sense of swing wins one over after a few songs" and her "piano playing is first class".[1]
In 2019, record club Vinyl Me, Please. reissued the album on vinyl. This was the first time the album was re-issued onto vinyl in the United States since its release.[4]
