Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow commented, "Karrin Allyson has a beautiful voice that is also quite flexible, as she shows throughout this consistently interesting release. The emphasis is a little more on ballads than usual, but there are some heated moments too."[1]All About Jazz review stated, "This excellent CD reminds us that Allyson isn't just a pop singer with some jazz influence—she's a improvising, hard swinging jazzer who can blow with the spontaneity of a saxophonist. And if you doubt it, just check out how passionately and freely she swings on everything..."[6]
