Critical reception

Billboard published a review in the September 17, 1988 issue which said, "A bright—if patchwork—project, this offers one side of new recordings of old standards and another of previously released duet material, some of which dates back to 1973."[2]

Commercial performance

The album peaked at No. 62 on the US Billboard Hot Country Albums chart, becoming the duo's lowest position on the chart.

The album's only single, "Making Believe", was released in September 1988[3] and is the duo's only single to not appear on any music charts.
