The initial Billboard magazine review from January 22, 1966 commented that "this new set has a strong representation of topflight show song material and she sings them with unusual precision".[4]
Jason Ankeny reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that the album "...bends the material to the singer's strengths, eschewing show tune dramatics in favor of subtle, atmospheric arrangements...". Ankeny highlighted "He Loves Me" and "Here's That Rainy Day" as "play[ing] perfectly to the singer's remarkable capacity to articulate the exhilaration and heartache of romance".[2]
