In the opinion of Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow: "This live set...was Shirley Horn's 'comeback' album after many years in which she purposely maintained a low profile as she raised her daughter. Typical of Horn's music ever since, she sings intimate ballads with her trio...and plays very effective piano behind her vocals".[1]
