Reception

Upon its release, Billboard magazine wrote: "Fans of the thrush from way back will find what they want here -- a pack of somewhat old-timey 'vocal Dixieland.'... Tunes are all torchers, but tempi are varied."
AllMusic gave the album a rating of three stars. Reviewer William Ruhlmann wrote that the album "had the kind of jazz and blues playing that characterized Starr at her best, and she remained an expressive vocalist whose style was a bit too hot for the more polite supper clubs."
