The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Throughout her second set of duets with pianist Alan Broadbent, Kral is almost up to the same emotional level as her previous effort, Where Is Love ... Few other singers could interpret a full program of slow ballads and hold one's interest throughout."[4]
