AllMusic[3]
Record Mirror[4]

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and its review by Richard Mortifoglio states "very few jazz singers sound as natural singing non-jazz material as Merrill does. She sounds just like herself (which she always does anyway), with no particular adjustment to a straighter idiom, as if she had to shed herself of jazz sophistication in order to become more "innocent".".[3]
