Reception

Scott Yanow reviewed the album for AllMusic and wrote: "It is ironic that what is arguably singer Betty Roché's finest all-around recording was also her last". Yanow wrote that "Roché improvises constantly and uplifts a variety of superior standards...It's recommended, particularly to jazz fans not aware of Betty Roché's musical talents".
