Im said "My intention wasn't to copy Karen's voice or her tone, our voices naturally sound so different. I tried to bring out the joy and the innocence in the songs while trying to sing them as honest and raw as I could as Dami, rather than pretending to be someone else."[1] Adding, "With this album and through my live performances, I hope to be remembered as the girl who is a real musician at heart who speaks truthfully through her craft."[2]

Critical reception


Cameron Adams from the Herald Sun gave the album 3 out of 5 saying; "There are two ways to tackle an album of covers of Carpenters' songs. You reinvent them or you recreate them. Here's Dami Im keeping it faithful for Mother's Day with lush, lovely remakes of "Yesterday Once More", "Close To You", "Rainy Days and Mondays" and so on". In a word, Adams described the album as "nice".[6]
