In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic William Ruhlmann called the album "a classy job on which Snow contributed seven originals and displayed her versatility on covers ranging from Motown to Gershwin."[3] Robert Christgau wrote of the album: "I'm pleased to report that her trademark melismatic quaver hasn't degenerated into a gimmick, and I acknowledge that this is a good record of its type. I just have my doubts about how good a jazz-folk mood-music record can be."[4]
