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."[3]
AllMusic gave the album a rating of three stars.[2] 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."[2]
