Critical reception

In the issue dated August 23, 1975, Billboard published a review that said, "If it's Loretta, it's got to be great, and this is no exception. It seems that, with every session, she discovers there are more things she can do with her versatility, and she proceeds to do them. She sings a great number of tunes already done by others, but simply shows that she can hold her own in the competition. Greatness with Loretta is more than an implication." The review noted "You Take Me to Heaven Every Night", "No Place Else to Go", and "Bring Some of It Home" as the best cuts on the album, with a note to record dealers that said, "On the cover is a country girl; on the back cover is a mansion. Both belong to Loretta."[2]

Commercial performance
