Jack Hurst of the Chicago Tribune gave Chapman's eponymous second album three stars out of four, calling her a "straight-ahead singer" who "attacks almost any kind of song here with obvious personal involvement that is often stunning."[5] The album also received a favorable review from People, which stated that it was "characterized by intelligent song selection" and that Chapman "at times [sounds] like Cher gone down-home."[6]
