The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album three stars and said that "...Horn does not play piano at all, sticking exclusively to vocals, and she had less control over the interpretations (being persuaded to sing some songs at faster-than-usual tempos) than she would later on...although the overall music is enjoyable, Horn would have much preferred to be the pianist behind her own vocals".

gollark: Technically it's kind of a horrible hack, it disables the native element appearance and then adds a background image containing the arrow, but oh well.
gollark: I was able to fix it, thanks stackoverflow!
