William Ruhlmann, on Allmusic.com, gave the album three stars out of five, commenting that in the choice of songs and arrangements on the album, producer Jimmy Bowen was "...shrewdly expanding Martin's contemporary base beyond the formula records he had made in the wake of "Everybody Loves Somebody," and doing it successfully."[1] Ruhlmann said that the chart performance of Houston showed that Martin's comeback "...was being sustained, not diminishing", albeit helped by promotion on Martin's successful new television show.[1]
