Tucson Weekly wrote that "the lyrics are clever, the melodies oddly shaped, the changes sophisticated, and the ambiance more than suggests that stereotypical late night jazz/lounge hang."[11] The Toronto Star stated that "Brown opts for the craft and laid-back intimacy of phrasing exemplified by Cleo Laine and Billie Holiday."[2] The Calgary Herald determined that "Brown sounds more like a cabaret performer than a jazz vocalist with her straight-arrow ballad renditions, while Rowles furnishes nothing more than barely-adequate accompaniments."[6] The Omaha World-Herald panned the "overdramatic Lena Horne route."[12] AllMusic wrote that "Brown gives great emphasis and feeling to the often sensuous (and occasionally witty) lyrics."[9] Track listing
