Allmusic awarded the album four stars and reviewer Jason Ankeny wrote that the combination of McRae and Coward was a "perfect match, bringing together two witty, sophisticated talents capable of remarkable expressions of raw emotional power." Ankeny also wrote that McRae was "at the absolute top of her game" and interpreted the songs with "effortless style and grace."[1]
